If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Kelson building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: 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 are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
