What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Hongoeka building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
