Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Hastings Central building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
