Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
