What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Clouston Park building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
