Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
