Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems 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 with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
