Frequently asked questions
-
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.
-
To book a building and pest inspection with us, head over to our home page and give us the address of the property you’re planning to buy or sell. You’ll then be led to a form that you need to fully accomplish. Once that’s done, we’ll connect you with the best and most available building inspector for your address.
-
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.
-
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.
-
In Victoria, it’s common for the buyer to pay for the building inspection. It’s part of your due diligence as you purchase new property. However, in some cases, a seller will provide a report to prospective buyers.
-
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.
-
While there are no specific laws that require building and pest inspections before buying a home, it’s better to get one. Without it, you could end up buying a home with structural or pest-related problems that will cost you more money in the future.
Discovered issues could also cause health and safety problems. You can them early on and even use the report to negotiate a lower buying price if issues do surface.
