If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Hastings building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
