What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Hastings building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you 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 and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
