The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
