What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
