Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
