What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under 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.
