Frequently asked questions
-
Yes, but it’s always better to get the whole report, as this will give you a better picture of the true state of a property.
-
Discuss the findings with the inspector for clarification on any points you don’t understand. Ask for more details on the severity of the issues and potential remedies.
Get quotes from qualified tradespeople or contractors for repairing the identified issues. This will help you understand the financial implications. Determine how the issues affect the property’s value, safety, and your decision to proceed with the purchase or sale.
You can use the inspection report to negotiate with the seller. Ask for repairs to be made before you finalise the sale, or request a reduction in the purchase price to cover the cost of repairs.

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.

It’s not necessary, but it’s better if you’re there to see the condition of the property first hand and have the inspector walk you through any findings. But if your schedule doesn’t allow it, that’s fine. Inspectors will take detailed photos and include them in their reports.
