Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Hastings Central building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
