Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences.
