If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re 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 is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in 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 take to remove, and the cost of removal.
