Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Hastings building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
