Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Hastings building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
