How Much Does a Building Inspection Cost?

Rates and services included in a building inspection service.

Are you moving to a new home? Do you need a bigger space for your growing family? The quest for a new home does not end when you find the house of your dreams. There are still many things to do before you sign the contract.

Moving into a new home is not an overnight process. There are still things to take care of. There is the paint job, the roof and ceiling, the wallpapers, and the landscaping.

Assessing what needs to be done in an existing home needs an expert’s eye and discernment. An inexperienced eye may miss something important that requires attention or repair.

A simple oversight can make your new home less comfortable and more costly, no matter how much you have prepared. Imagine missing a leaking roof or a pest infestation.

That is where building inspection done by an expert comes in. A building inspection is vital for both buyer and seller. It is a wise decision to have your home inspected before you put it up for sale. This way, you can be sure that your home is in the best shape when potential buyers start inspecting the property.

What is a Building Inspection?

A building inspection is an inspection performed by an expert before finalising and signing a property sale. After a thorough inspection, the inspector provides a report with that details the condition of the property.

It is an integral part of any real estate investment. You do not want to spend money for your Sydney home, then spend thousands more on its repairs.

The same applies if you’re selling your home. You can maximise the selling price if you are confident that your property is damage-free and pest-free.

What is a Building Inspection

A comprehensive pre-purchase or pre-listing building inspection report will give you the following detailed information:

  • Major defects, such as structural issues that can further affect the integrity of the property.
  • Minor defects, which include aesthetic issues and items that need more attention and maintenance.
  • Presence of health and safety hazards such as asbestos.
  • Presence of pests in the home.
  • Photographs of identified defects.

Knowing these details allows you to better prepare for additional expenses and make a sound decision.

Why you should do a Pre-Listing Building Inspection

Why you should do a Pre-Listing Building Inspection

Before you list your property, make sure that it is habitable and comfortable. You cannot sell at a good price if your property’s integrity is compromised.

Here are other reasons why you should invest in a pre-listing building inspection:

  • It ensures you have full disclosure before the sale is finalised.
  • It gives you confidence in the condition of your home.
  • It reduces the risks of unwanted surprises that can postpone the sale.
  • It puts you ahead – any interested buyer will also do their inspection of your property.
  • It increases the chances of a better and quicker sale.
  • It increases the value of your property since your house will look better to potential buyers.
  • It prepares you ready for any negotiations with the buyer.

Why you should do a Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

A pre-purchase building inspection is a must before you sign a contract for your new home or property acquisition. It is a wise investment that will help you make an informed decision.

Investing in a pre-purchase building inspection can help you save thousands of dollars in repairs and replacement. It allows you to negotiate for a lower price with the seller, based on any problems found during the inspection.

It informs you of what needs to be repaired and how to prevent the recurrence of any existing problems. You can also prepare for any required regular maintenance, should you continue with the purchase.

A pre-purchase building inspection can make your move smoother and more enjoyable. You do not want to spend your first night in your new home with a leaky roof, broken floors, or unwanted pests.
