If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Brown Owl building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
