If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Hongoeka building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
