The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Brown Owl building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
