Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Hongoeka building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
