Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Vogeltown building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
