Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
