Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
