Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Hastings building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
