Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
