If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
