If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
