If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Alicetown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
