An Expert Building & Home Inspection in Kelson

Peace of Mind

We will carry out an in-depth inspection of your property in order to offer you with a fair as well as sincere detailed written report on the building that includes photos of any areas that are in need of attention to ensure that the home you purchase is of the quality you expect.

The thorough inspection performed by a Kelson building inspector usually is between one half hours and two hours on site. However, we permit a maximum of two hours for our standard pre-purchase inspections within Kelson. This is followed by a few additional hours preparing the report.

Our reports are precise, yet easy to understand in an effort to inform you as clearly as imaginable about the potential of your new property. You are in a better position to negotiate by being fully well-informed to make informed property decisions.

Do not pay too much for the home that’s likely create headaches due to potential issues in the future. We can pinpoint the areas where most problems happen, and will give you specialist guidance on how to proceed.

Depending on what an home inspection finds it is possible to utilise a report to help you negotiate with the seller over the cost or even repairs. Even if a report only uncovers minor problems, you are able to still use it as a reference to plan future maintenance.

What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
