Pre-Sale Building and Pest Inspections
More and more vendors are choosing to undertake a building and pest inspection before initiating their marketing campaign, due to the many benefits that this service provides.
A building and pest inspection is a must for anyone looking at purchasing a property and is equally important for those preparing for sale.
Typically, a purchaser’s own professional inspection within the due diligence period will raise a number of minor and sometimes major defect items.
This often results in the requirement for the property owner to undertake repair works which can be difficult to attend to within the standard contact time frame, resulting in the need for contract extensions, negotiations on pricing deductions or, in the worst-case scenario, termination of the contract.
Being transparent and forthcoming to potential buyers on any underlying defects that your property might contain displays a level of transparency appreciated by interested parties and helps mitigate feelings of uncertainty that many a home buyer experiences during the purchasing process.

Many typical major defect items, such as silicone failure to splashbacks or shower screens, are simple and inexpensive to resolve and are well worth undertaking prior to listing to avoid a less than favourable inspection report during your new buyer’s due diligence period.
