Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Vogeltown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
