What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
