Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

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

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
