Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Hastings Central building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
