If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
