Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Hastings building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Hastings

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
