Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Hongoeka building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
