Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Clouston Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
