What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
