If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.
