Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Hastings Central building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
