The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Hastings building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
