Frequently asked questions
-
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.
-
Vendor-supplied inspection reports are not the most trustworthy option. It’s always better to get your own inspector and have them produce a report for you.
-
No. You can continue with a purchase without a report created by an accredited building inspector. However, it is not recommended.
-
Yes, a report is a legal document. That said, you’re fully protected by law in case you find any pre-existing and major issues that weren’t included in the report.
-
It’s best to exhaustively ask all your questions beforehand. But if you do have follow-up questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
-
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.
-
The GST component is included in your quoted price and explicitly identified during your booking flow.
