Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has 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, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
