Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed 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 in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
