The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
