House Pre-Settlement Inspection Report
A pre-settlement inspection of a newly built home is crucial for all consumers to obtain prior to handover or obtaining an Occupation Certificate. A pre-settlement inspection report outlines all defects within the newly built home. The report is to be issued to your builder, and your builder must rectify the defects within the report within a timely manner. The builder must have all defects rectified prior to handing over the keys, and should the builder refuse to rectify the defects, the pre-settlement inspection report can be used to activate your homeowners warranty policy and the report can be used to commence proceedings within the Department of Fair Trading, NCAT or Local Court.
Established, Recently Purchased Buildings Known as a pre-settlement inspection, this step is a crucial one – especially if someone has been living in your new home since you signed the contract of sale, as this makes it more likely that the home won’t be in the same condition as when you bought it, which it’s required to be. Often, the property settlement period is anywhere between 30 and 90 days, and so you shouldn’t assume that the property is in the same condition in the week leading up to settlement as when you exchanged contracts; you should engage us to inspect the site instead. We will check that the property is in good condition, that all rubbish has been removed from site, and that any special contract conditions have been met. If the property is in a worse condition than when you exchanged contracts – for example, if there’s a new hole in the wall, broken window or burst water pipe – you can ask the vendor to make repairs accordingly. When to inspect?
Each state has different laws regarding pre-settlement inspections. Some, like Victoria, stipulate that buyers are entitled to inspect the property at any reasonable time during the week before settlement; others, like South Australia, stipulate that buyers are only entitled to one if they specifically stated in the contract that the sale was subject to one. However, whichever state you live in, you’ll be expected to carry out this inspection at a “reasonable time” during the week before settlement. It’s best to do it several days before settlement, too, so that the vendor has time to make any necessary repairs. What We Will Inspect?
