Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
