If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Hastings building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
