What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Hastings building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
