What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Brown Owl

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
