If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
