Pre-Purchase Inspections Perth

Why you need a pre-purchase inspection

Buying a house is one of the most significant financial commitments that you’ll have to make in your life. In Australia, 1 out of 3 homes are sold with some significant defects, of which had the house been inspected by our professionals, it would have been picked up. Furthermore, inspections can be used as leverage when negotiating your price.

One of the main reasons why we recommend that you have a pre-purchase building inspection in Perth is the fact that most sellers will often place a ‘band-aid’ solution over the items that could raise many concerns to an untrained eye. For example, we often encounter crack repairs to brickworks that can be difficult to know without the kind of analysis that our experienced building inspectors provide.

Doing this without a trained building inspector who inspects as thoroughly as we do, you are very likely to miss these ‘band-aid’ solutions to the property, and you could end up breaking the bank in the long run repairing them.

Buying a house or a property can indeed be a very emotional and exciting time. You may easily fall in love with a property and overlook the shortcomings that the property comes with. Since the process of buying a property can be speedy, you must request a building inspection before you decide whether to purchase or not. Don’t allow your excitement to drive you into making decisions that you’ll end up regretting. Have a chat with one of our trained and experienced Perth Building Inspectors today!

Pre-Purchase Building Inspections Perth

Buying a new home or property is incredibly exciting, however, it also comes fraught with pitfalls which could cost you an arm and a leg if not picked up before you buy the property. We know what it’s like when you find the home of your dreams. You just want to get on with it and sign on that dotted line so that it’s finally all yours.

It’s important not to rush this process though. At first glance, everything may seem to be in tip-top shape, but once the purchase has gone through, you may start to notice that things aren’t quite as rosy as they seemed.

This is why it is absolutely imperative to complete a pre-purchase building inspection before dotting the “i’s” and crossing the “t’s”.

Here are just some of the way that getting pre-purchase building inspections in Perth can help you when buying a home:

Structural integrity

The worst problems when buying a home may not be visible to the naked eye and a professional inspector will be able to get a better look at the deeper issues that a property might have. Second-hand homes, in particular, are likely to have at least a small issue defect and that’s what your inspector will point out. They will have a look for structural aspects like damp problems, cracks, rising floors, rusty roofs and rotting wood. A pre-purchase structural inspection in Perth will also ensure that any outside structures like garages, shed, decks and driveways are structurally sound.

Gives repair estimates

Very few homes are the perfect product, and this ultimately means that there is going to be some repairs needed during the purchasing process. An inspector will ensure that you know about any issues before you put pen to paper and give you a cost estimate of the repairs. This means that you can either get the current owners to fix the problems before you buy the property or use it as a bargaining device on the price if you are going to do the repairs yourself.

Shows the value of the property

It’s only natural that a homeowner will try get as much money as possible for their property. If a pre-purchase inspection isn’t done, then you may be paying a lot more than the house is actually worth. You will get an in-depth report on the maintenance and energy costs and any other issues that you may have to repair on your own. A pre-purchase inspection can get you the best possible deal on a very important life investment that you’re about to make.
