Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
