If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
