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.

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.
