The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
