Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Vogeltown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, 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 surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
