The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed 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 be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
