What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Brown Owl building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might 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. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
