Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Hongoeka building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
