A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
