What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
