Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Hongoeka building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs 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 moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
