If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
