Why you need an Inspection

Having a building inspection completed before you finalise the contract on your new home or investment property could potentially save you thousands of dollars. Unfortunately finding substantial structural defects or destructive timber pest damage after the property has been purchased is a situation that occurs more often than you would think. The cost of repairing this damage can be very high. This is why you need to have the right people examine the condition of the structure and prepare a detailed report so that you are aware of any structural issues.

There are many advantages to getting a building and pest inspection report done before you buy a property. These include:

  • knowing in advance what the problems are
  • getting specialist advice about any major problems and how they will affect the property over time.

A building inspection can uncover structural, conditional/design defects or problems in the interior and exterior of a property, some of which may not be visible at first glance. Obvious warning signs that work needs doing can include:

  • Rising damp
  • Structural cracks
  • Faulty roofs
  • Uneven floors

A pest inspection can uncover evidence of things like termite damage (although not necessarily whether termites are still present in the property).
