If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Alicetown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
