Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Hongoeka building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
