Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Brown Owl building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
