Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Clouston Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
