Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Brown Owl building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
