What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a 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 assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.
