Regarding inheriting a building, you should know that “kindom of (SHS) Yugoslavia” inherited government buildings from Serbia which in 1918 was the only international member state with embassies around the world. Eg. London embassy was formed in 1883.

So it is rationale/fair for the states to inherit what they originally had paid for.

Speaking of inheritance, did the newly created states of Croatia and Slovenia in 1918 inherit their share of Austro-Hungarian debt when they left that union, or did they enter a union with Serbia debt free?

Much like in a divorce, if it's something that has clearly stayed separate the whole time then perhaps, but if it's something the combined state has shared and maintained then probably not.
