Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Vogeltown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
