Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
