If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
