You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
