Buy (or sell) your next property with confidence, knowing it’s been thoroughly inspected by a fully qualified and insured Building Inspector with over 35 years experience.
Buying and selling a property is one of the largest investments you’ll ever make.
It’s often rushed because of the market intensity or busy real estate agents. And for many of us, we’re buying properties “sight unseen” from interstate or overseas.
Booking a professional and independent building inspection is one of the only steps you can take to protect yourself from hidden defects, non-compliant renovations or expensive maintenance issues.
Remove the emotion from the buying process and protect yourself from expensive surprises or hidden defects.
By providing an inspection report when selling your home, you can gain buyer trust and avoid settlement delays.
With a fresh set of eyes, we can inspect your dream home and ensure your builder is kept accountable along the way.
It’s fully within your rights to undertake a pre-purchase property building inspection prior to paying an initial deposit, when buying your next home.
This is a critical step and can be the only “condition of contract” at your disposal, prior to settlement on property in Tasmania.
Tasmania is also unique, in that there are no cooling off periods on property deals. And it can be hard to negotiate the price, after signing an offer – meaning it can be difficult to wiggle out of a deal, after you’ve made an offer.
Most offers also come with a minimum defect limit and a good reference for a Tasmanian property is 2-3% of the agreed contract price. So if you discover a significant structural defect with a property, the potential cost of repair work must exceed that limit, if you have any final chance to break the contract.
That’s where we come in.
By selecting a fully qualified and insured building inspector to carry out a pre-purchase property inspection and report, we can help ensure you’re buying a great property (or have the required evidence to break the contract if the home turns out needs more work than shown in the real estate listing.
When buying a new home, many issues are either hard to see in the images or hidden to the untrained eye; especially when there’s emotions involved and you’re only able to inspect a property for 20 – 30 minutes (or you’re buying the property sight unseen from interstate).
Our comprehensive inspections thoroughly examine every detail of the property, identifying defects, understanding the geographical location of a property, and the issues that come with construction on steep sites that are common in the Hobart area and surrounds.
We’ll help you ensure that you go into the purchase with your eyes open, so you can move forward with confidence, understanding any risk or defects prior to moving forward with the contract.
