The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems 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 surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
