Frequently asked questions
-
No. You can continue with a purchase without a report created by an accredited building inspector. However, it is not recommended.
-
Fully completed reports are non-refundable.
-
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 most common and problematic ones include:
- Termites
- Rodents
- Bees and Wasps
- Cockroaches
- Flies and Mosquitoes
- Fleas
- Moths
- Snakes
- Birds
-
It’s not necessary, but it’s better if you’re there to see the condition of the property first hand and have the inspector walk you through any findings. But if your schedule doesn’t allow it, that’s fine. Inspectors will take detailed photos and include them in their reports.
-
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.
-
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.
-
It’s best to provide a fixed date. However, in case of any unforeseen scheduling issues that could impede an inspection, contact us at least 36 hours before the inspection.
