If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
