What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
