What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
