The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
