If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
