The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, 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 take to remove, and the removal cost.
