Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
