PRE-SALE BUILDING INSPECTIONS Sydney

If you’re selling your home, you’re in a much stronger negotiating position if you know what issues might be raised following potential buyers’ building inspections.

Selling your property is one of the biggest financial transactions you’ll make, and unexpected building defects can quickly derail negotiations or reduce your final sale price.

A Pre Sale Building Inspection from Vital Building Inspections gives you a clear understanding of your property’s condition before it goes on the market. Our comprehensive inspections identify structural defects, maintenance issues and safety concerns, allowing you to address problems before prospective buyers arrange their own inspection.

With more than 20 years of building restoration and defect rectification experience, we don’t simply identify issues—we help you understand their cause, severity and likely repair requirements, giving you greater confidence throughout the selling process.

When do you need a pre-listing building inspections report?

If you’re considering putting your house on the market, it’s a good idea to understand the condition of the property, this is where a pre-listing building report can assist you.

Some of the deciding factors on whether you sell your home or not is the sale price. How much can I get for my home? How quickly can it be sold? This can be a very stressful time as the answers to these questions are usually guesses.

If the answers were always positive, then selling houses would be more fun and rewarding. One of the ways you can increase your chances of selling your home at the desired value and with less stress is to know the true condition of your home.

Unexpected repair requests
Reduced buyer confidence

Thank you for your report. It was very useful to decide about my purchase of that house.

I have been very satisfied with your very clear and concise method of working, as well as appreciate your very professional conduct in all our encounters.

Thank you Peter for this very professional and comprehensive report. We are very pleased with your very pleasant and extremely well-mannered personal approach to your work and are more than pleased with our choice of company for the building and pest inspection. The recommendations for repair work are very clear and easy to understand, so no further clarification will be needed.

It is a huge relief to us that there was no evidence of termite activity and that the main structure of the house showed no major defects. It will be an asset to be able to present your report to our prospective real estate agent who recommended that we obtain such a report before putting the house on the market.

Once again I would like to thank you for your professional approach and thorough inspection report. Would be happy to do business with you in the future.
