What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.
