It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Vogeltown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

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