Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Hastings building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
