Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Vogeltown building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
