If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Alicetown building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
