Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
