If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
