What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
