If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
