Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
