Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
