What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
