Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Brown Owl building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
