If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
