What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Hastings Central building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
