The Reasons Why 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 is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Hongoeka building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
