If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Alicetown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or 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 where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
