If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Brown Owl building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
