The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Clouston Park building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
