It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
