Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
