What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
