Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house 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 if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
