Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
