If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an 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. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
