What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Hastings building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
