No. You can continue with a purchase without a report created by an accredited building inspector. However, it is not recommended.
-
It’s best to provide a fixed date. However, in case of any unforeseen scheduling issues that could impede an inspection, contact us at least 36 hours before the inspection.
-
Coordinate with your seller on the best time and date to complete the inspection. Clear the property of any clutter and obstructions.
It helps if the seller can inform the inspector of any issues that they might know about and provide documentation if available. Secure any pets and turn on all utilities for proper inspection.

We recommend that you book a building and pest inspection at least a week before you need it for your finance approval. The inspection itself will only take 60 to 90 minutes, but your inspector will need some time to get the report fully and properly done.
