If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Vogeltown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
