Frequently asked questions
-
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.
-
Generally, we can provide a full and comprehensive report within 48-72 hours depending on the size, case, and condition of your desired property. Larger homes and those with several issues might take longer.
-
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.
-
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 exhaustively ask all your questions beforehand. But if you do have follow-up questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
-
If a report comes back and you aren’t happy with the condition of the home and want to back out, you’re allowed to. But there’s a slight chance you won’t fully get your earnest downpayment back. Try to convince the seller to lower the sale rate or address the issues before you complete the purchase process.
-
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 cost of a building and pest inspection in Melbourne will depend on a few factors, like the size of the property, renovation status, locations, and others. On average, the costs can go from $300 to $1,200 (including GST) to start. That includes the inspection and report.
