Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
