The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
