Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Hongoeka building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
