Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Hastings building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
