The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
