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

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
