Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
