If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Clouston Park building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed 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.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
