PRE-SALE BUILDING & PEST INSPECTION
Selling your property? A Pre-Sale Building and Pest Inspection with Propertyscope can make all the difference. Essentially this inspection can help you understand the existing condition of your property and any issues that may need to be addressed before going to market. It can also assist in determining a sale price, additionally, a Pre-Sale Inspection may avoid losing potential buyers by allowing you to correct existing defects that may otherwise have been left to further deteriorate.
Ultimately, as the seller you want to maximise your financial return by ensuring that your property is in peak condition. Or at the very least, be armed with the knowledge beforehand that your property may require some attention. The aim here is to match your understanding in the condition of your property with that of a building inspection report conducted on behalf of a prospective buyer. In many instances properties are sold with defects present – being armed with the relevant information will ensure that you have an opportunity to cost any defect rectification or remediation works, even if those works are not carried out, it will provide you with a strong negotiating position where a buyer is potentially seeking an excessive reduced price to rectify any present defects against your property.
It also gives you peace of mind knowing that potential buyers will not be surprised by any hidden damage or pests when they conduct their own inspections. Additionally, for your peace of mind, our inspectors are qualified and experienced builders, as well as timber pest inspectors.
We concentrate and focus on three critical elements of major defects (what we call ‘show stoppers’!) and also general minor and finishing defects. Generally, if there are significant issues with any of these items, they can be quite costly to rectify and can derail a potential sale very quickly.
OUR PRE-SALE CHECKPOINTS INCLUDE:
Essentially, there are four key checkpoints which include:
Major Defects – Primary & Secondary Elements
Water Damage - Ingress and Egress
Termites & Timber Pest Detection and Prevention
Your inspection and report will generally cover the following building elements:
The interior of the building
The internal roof space (cavity)
The exterior of the building
The sub-floor space
The roof exterior
An inspection of these areas is dependent on accessibility, height, and whether the areas can be safely inspected. Further information regarding accessibility can be found in our Service Disclaimer Statement and Terms and Conditions.
