What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Hongoeka building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
