Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Hongoeka building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
