What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
