A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
