It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Hongoeka building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
