Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Hongoeka building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home 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 caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
