A pre-purchase building and pest inspection is recommended to be carried out well before an auction or before the five-day cooling off period ends. It will give you a clear picture of what problems the property may have and may help with your negotiations.
Our team will undertake a comprehensive inspection of the property and determine any defects and then provide relevant information on the cause and the effects it will have in the long term.
During a building inspection, we check the following:
- The roof exterior and interior
- The Building exterior and interior
- The Subfloor
- The Site including up to one Outbuilding, such as a garage, granny flat or shed
During a combined building and pest inspection, we check the following:
- Leaking roofs or damaged roof plumbing
- Structural cracks or timber framing inadequacies
- Leaking showers or baths / wet areas
- Damp issues such as rising damp or penetrating damp
- Poor external drainage or storm-water concerns
- Main structural elements
- Potential safety hazards such as collapsing balconies
