Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Clouston Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
