What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
