If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Hastings Central building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
