The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
