A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Hastings building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
