Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.
