If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
