Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Vogeltown building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
