Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
