Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has 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 problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
