If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Vogeltown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
