If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Brown Owl building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
