It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Kelson building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.
