The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
