Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Vogeltown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
