A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
