Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
