Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Vogeltown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
