Why Should I Consider A Pre Purchase Building Inspection?

Because information is key – and this is true in life as well as with buying a property.

Personally, I would always rather have too much information and not have to use it, then to have not enough information that (always in hindsight) I could have used or even worse, could have saved me money, pain and heartache in the future.

Requesting a Building Inspection allows you to enter into the transaction knowing full well what you are buying.

A qualified building inspector can reassure any fears that may arise after an inspection – because a property with problems doesn’t necessarily mean that property is not worth buying.

The knowledge gained from your inspector will provide you with a good idea of any pitfalls the property may have, and you can consider all your options. This information may even allow you to negotiate with the seller.

It doesn’t make sense when we hear of buyers trying to ‘save money’ by forgoing a building inspection, when the small amount it costs for a report could potentially highlight defects that could cost much more to repair.

Especially when the property purchase outlay is quite often the most significant transaction most people will make in their lifetime.

By highlighting shortcomings of a property, it can potentially save you thousands (sometimes tens of thousands) of dollars or at the very least inform you as to what issues you will have to contend with in the years to come.
