What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Brown Owl building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
