It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Vogeltown building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
