Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Brown Owl building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
