Buyer Pre-Purchase Building & Pest/Strata Reports
Pre-Purchase Building
A pre-purchase building inspection is a critical investment prior to any home, commercial building or investment property purchase.
A pre-purchase building inspection will give you peace of mind that you are not buying a property with unforeseen or insurmountable problems. With the benefit of expert knowledge, you can assess and adjust your budget for the purchase or proposed renovations and have a powerful tool to negotiate a better deal with the vendor or managing agent.
By obtaining a pre-purchase inspection report you will be able to:
Avoid or withdraw from the purchase of a building with defects
Negotiate a better sale price or leasing deal based on estimated cost of rectifying defects
Plan and budget for any major maintenance works or upkeep of the building
Be confident when buying an investment property without seeing it e.g. from the internet, in another state etc
The most likely areas for building defects are often overlooked by potential purchasers, or are not made accessible to them. While a building may appear to be in good condition on initial inspection, many potential problems or defects are hidden under the floor or above your head.
As part of our inspection, we will inspect the roof void, the sub-floor as well as the entire building externally and internally to check for defects such as:
Rising damp
Shower leaks (showers are flood tested)
Timber decay or termite damage
Structural cracking in external brickwork and internal walls
Condition of roof tiles/iron roofing/skylights
Sub-floor ventilation and drainage
What You Can Expect
