If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Vogeltown building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
