What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Clouston Park building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
