Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Clouston Park building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
