If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Kelson building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
