Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
