Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Clouston Park building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
