The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, 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 expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
