If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
