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.
-
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 most common and problematic ones include:
- Termites
- Rodents
- Bees and Wasps
- Cockroaches
- Flies and Mosquitoes
- Fleas
- Moths
- Snakes
- Birds
-
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.
-
The GST component is included in your quoted price and explicitly identified during your booking flow.
-
No. You can continue with a purchase without a report created by an accredited building inspector. However, it is not recommended.
-
