It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Kelson building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
