Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Vogeltown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
