A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Clouston Park building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
