Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
