It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Hastings Central building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
