The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
