If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
