The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
