Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Clouston Park building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
