If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
