Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
