If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Hastings building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Hastings

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
