Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Hongoeka building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
