Kellyville was largely semi-rural for most of the 20th century, apart from a pocket of homes built around Acres Road from the 1960s to the 80s. It grew quickly from the 1990s with large family estates, and more recently North Kellyville has added new homes while apartments have gone up around Kellyville Metro station.
Kellyville sits on reactive shale clay, so slab movement and drainage come up often, even in homes only 15 to 20 years old. Older homes need checks for ageing roofs and termites, newer homes for workmanship and waterproofing, and apartments for wider building issues. Peter is based nearby in Stanhope Gardens and has over 18 years of experience inspecting homes across The Hills.
Every property is different, but these are the issues that come up most often on our Kellyville building and pest inspections.
Even homes built in the last 20 years can show cracking where footings or site preparation were not up to the clay conditions. We look for stepped cracks, cornice gaps and doors that stick, and tell you if a structural engineer should take a look.
Showers and bathrooms in 1990s and 2000s estate homes often leak as waterproofing ages. We check for moisture, cracked grout and sealant, and tiles that sound hollow.
Mature gardens, mulch against walls and homes backing onto reserves raise termite risk. We check the roof space and perimeter closely. See our timber pest inspection reports.
New homes in North Kellyville are not defect free. We often find incomplete work, waterproofing issues and roof or gutter problems. A new home inspection before handover means the builder fixes them, not you.
Units around Kellyville station are newer, but balconies, bathrooms and windows still need checking. We look for leaks, cracked tiles and sealant, and signs of water getting in from common areas.
Some streets slope, and water can run toward the house instead of away from it. We check site drainage, retaining walls and stormwater connections.
Whether you are buying, selling or building in Kellyville, these are the inspections local clients book with us most.

A dedicated check for termites and other timber pests, including signs of past activity and conditions that make a home more likely to be attacked. See our pest inspections.
Selling in Kellyville? A pre-sale report lets you fix issues or disclose them upfront, so there are fewer surprises once buyers start their own checks. Learn about pre-sale inspections.
Building in North Kellyville? We inspect at key construction stages and before handover, so defects are picked up while the builder is still on site. See construction stage inspections.
Buying a unit or townhouse in Kellyville? We inspect the property itself and flag anything that may point to wider building issues, such as water getting in from common areas. See strata inspections.
Knockdown rebuilds are increasingly common in Kellyville’s older streets. A dilapidation report records the condition of neighbouring properties before work starts. Learn about dilapidation reports.
