Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Hongoeka building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
