Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
