If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Brown Owl building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
