What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Brown Owl building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
