If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
