If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Hongoeka building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
