Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Hongoeka building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
