A building inspection is just one check you can get done before buying a property. It is sometimes referred to as a ‘standard property report’.
The building inspection report is a written account of the property’s condition. It will include any significant building defects or problems such as rising damp, movement in the walls (cracking), safety hazards or a faulty roof. It is usually carried out before you exchange sale contracts so you can identify problems that, if left unchecked, could prove costly to repair.
DON’T LEAVE IT TO CHANCE.
At Property Check NSW we have the experience, expertise, and technology to provide you with a thorough and detailed examination of the property that you are considering purchasing. With our cloud-based software, we are able to deliver details that others can not, including videos showing issues that have been discovered. From major defects and safety hazards to maintenance recommendations, you will have a complete overview of the property and be fully informed giving you peace of mind in moving forward with your purchase.
A Purchaser repot is where the buyer of a property engages a building inspector to report on the building condition prior to the completion of the sale.
Once you find the property that you want to buy you will put in an offer on the property. It is important to have the correct clauses in the contract that it is pending a building report.
This is an example of a clause but please do consult your solicitor prior to signing any offer.
‘The contract is conditional upon the purchaser(s) obtaining at their expense a Building Inspection Report accepted as satisfactory by them within 14 days of acceptance of this contract. If the report is not to the purchaser’s satisfaction, the purchaser(s) may at their option, terminate this contract by written notice, supported by a copy of the report, to the vendor’s agent prior to date of 14 days from acceptance.’
If the inspection report comes back with defects, the ‘accepted as satisfactory’ bit gives you greater control over whether you have to proceed with the purchase of the property.
Once the offer is accepted you then need to book an inspection with us. We can normally get to the property within a few days and there is a 24 hour turnaround time for the report.
Once you have the report you can complete the purchase with peace of mind, or if there are some concerning issues found you have the option to renegotiate or back out of the sale.
These are pre-purchase building reports ordered by the Vendor. The reports are placed on our website where potential purchasers can download them prior to bidding giving them peace of mind and confidence to bid, knowing that what they are purchasing on auction day has been thoroughly vetted.
This saves each potential purchaser from having to order their own building report with multiple inspectors having to gain access to the same property to repeat the process.
After the auction, the report can then be officially transferred to the successful purchases name and used to support any mortgage application etc.
Timber and Pest InspectionsThe costs of termite damage to a house can be extreme. A study into the industry in 2013
summarised the literature on termite damage in Australia found that the average cost for treatment
and repair of termite damage was approximately $10,000 per house. This average was provided by
the building advisory service branch of the Royal Institute of Architects.
Don’t take the chance, let Property Check NSW have a full thorough onsite inspection.
Daniel was very efficient and thorough when completing a property inspection for me in Ulladulla NSW. I received the inspection report that same day. A couple of follow up questions I had were answered over the phone with no fuss. I was extremely happy with the whole process and recommend Daniel and Property Check NSW if you need such a service.
Daniel was super professional and helpful throughout the entire process. Daniel showed up early to the building inspection and did a very thorough review on the property. A verbal report was provided on the spot which gave me the confidence to make an offer on the property; this was followed up with a written comprehensive report. Thank you Daniel for being so helpful and accommodating the inspection on short notice. Highly recommend!
