If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
