What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
