The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
