What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
