What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Hongoeka building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
