If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Kelson building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
