If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
