The property you’re looking to buy could look fine on the surface but have a long list of defects and issues you can’t see. Defects and issues could cost you tens of thousands of dollars to fix.
So it makes sense to get a house inspection and building report before you buy.
Purchasing a home or investment property is one of your biggest purchases. So when you’re looking to buy a property, you want to ensure it is a good investment and won’t be a money pit. And that is why it is smart to get building and pest inspections done by a reputable building inspector.
When you get a building inspection, you:
While the property you’re looking at could look fine on the surface, it could have a long list of defects, structural issues or pests you can’t see. And these building and pest issues could cost you big bucks to fix. If you get a house inspection done first, you’ll know exactly what you’re buying before you even offer or bid. And when you’re armed with this information, you can make a sound decision about whether or not it is a good or bad buy. And, if there are issues, you can use the report to help you negotiate a lower purchase price.
A good building or home inspection and report will tell you the following:
They say knowledge is power, and when it comes to buying property, is definitely is. If the property you are looking to buy does have issues, a home inspection and building report will tell you exactly what the issues are. Many purchasers then use the building report they have gotten to negotiate a lower purchase price with the seller. Because a good house inspection and building report will tell you what each issue or defect will likely cost to fix, you are in a strong position to negotiate a lower purchase price based on these costs.
When you have a home inspection and building report done, you can talk directly with the building inspector and have your questions about the property answered by someone who knows what they are discussing. They should also be able to connect you with other experts who can help you work through any issues the building has. This could be a plumber or electrician, builder, structural engineer, property surveyor, landscaper, or anyone else you need help from.
While a pre-purchase home inspection will cost you a little bit of money, it is nothing compared to the amount of money it could save you in the long run. Getting a pre-purchase house inspection can also save you the time and stress that comes with buying a house with a host of hidden defects, shoddy work, structural issues or pests.
