Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
