For the average person buying a property will possibly be the greatest expense that they will meet in their lifetime and represents a huge investment, whether the property is to be used as a residence or as a source of revenue from rental income. There are many factors to consider when taking the plunge and buying a property; location, size and value for money will all be prevalent in your mind but possibly the most important consideration should be the condition of the building, and to really have an understanding of this you require a detailed, objective inspection and report that will make you aware of any issues that you may face in both the long and short term.
Noel Watson is an accredited builder with over 4 decades of experience in the industry, and now with his company, Hawkeye House Inspections, based in Warkworth, north of Auckland, is committed to helping those either buying or renting properties by providing unbiased and completely independent reports that can save you time, money and despair should you unwittingly buy a property with flaws of which you were unaware.
It’s little secret that for a period of about 10 years, around the turn of the century, that the building laws and regulations in NZ permitted some bad building practices which have contributed to an epidemic of leaky, damp and unstable buildings. Add to this, a building boom with insufficient qualified builders to undertake the required volume of work and it’s clear that there are many properties that you would do well to avoid, and the only way to ensure this is to utilise the services of an accredited building inspector, such as Noel Watson.
When you commission Hawkeye House Inspections for your pre purchase building inspection north of the bridge, or surrounding areas you will receive a clear, easy to understand report to New Zealand Standard 4306:2005, with colour photographs that will highlight any areas of concern that you should be aware of. With great attention to detail, the exterior of the property – roofs, gables, eaves, chimneys, guttering and cladding will be assessed, and the inside of the property will be subject to similar scrutiny. Walls, sub floors, electrics, plumbing, joinery, insulation – everything will be carefully examined, along with the overall structure of the building, and the all-important moisture meter checks throughout the property. Should there be any evidence of damp or moisture in the building, Noel can offer remedial advice, but if it is a serious or widespread problem, the decision to walk away may be the best. Why take a risk with your investment, health and peace of mind when house inspections North of the bridge and other suburbs are accessible and affordable with Hawkeye House Inspections?
