If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Hongoeka building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.
