What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Brown Owl building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
