What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Brown Owl building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household 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 homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
