The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Vogeltown building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
