If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
