The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
