The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Vogeltown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
