What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
