The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Hastings building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
