A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity 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 any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
