Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Hongoeka building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
