Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Vogeltown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
