When you’re looking to purchase a property, it’s wise to complete a pre purchase building and inspection report before the end of the cooling off period. It’s a smart investment and could save you thousands and a nasty shock in the future.
Why is a pre-purchase pest & building inspection important?
There are many reasons why a pre-purchase pest & building inspection is important. These include:
- Identify safety hazards present at the property
- Identify any major defects
- Make a plan of action for repairs and maintenance
- Identify damage caused by timber pests including termites, wood borers and wood rot
Pre-purchase pest and building inspection inclusions
A pre-purchase property inspection is a thorough examination of a property’s condition, typically conducted by a professional home inspector. The purpose of the inspection is to identify any major defects or issues with the property that may not be immediately visible or apparent to the buyer.
Here are some common inclusions of a pre-purchase property inspection:
- Structure: The inspector will examine the foundation, walls, floors, roof, and other structural elements of the property to ensure they are in good condition.
- Electrical system: The inspector will check the electrical panel, outlets, and wiring to ensure they meet current safety standards and are in good working order.
- Plumbing: The inspector will check the plumbing system, including the pipes, water heater, and other appliances, to ensure they are functioning properly.
- Heating and cooling: The inspector will examine the heating and cooling systems, including the furnace, air conditioner, and ductwork, to ensure they are in good working order.
- Interior: The inspector will check the interior of the property, including the doors, windows, walls, and ceilings, to identify any issues or defects.
- Exterior: The inspector will examine the exterior of the property, including the siding, windows, doors, and roof, to identify any issues or defects.
- Attic and crawl space: The inspector will check the attic and crawl space, if accessible, to identify any issues or defects with the property.
- Appliances: The inspector may also check appliances, such as the stove, refrigerator, and washing machine, to ensure they are in good working order.
