DID MY PROPERTY PASS ITS BUILDING INSPECTION?

It is almost impossible to get a perfect building inspection report on a house that has just been built. Even newly constructed houses can have areas that need to be addressed by a highly qualified building inspector.

A building inspection report will not be marked as pass or fail. The purpose of the report is to help you make an informed decision. Building inspectors who are experienced understand their responsibility to give you a clear report so you can evaluate your options.

WHAT HAPPENS AT A BUILDING AND PEST INSPECTION?

Andrew has completed over 20,000 Brisbane building inspections. He encourages his clients to come along and is happy to share what he’s doing. It is not necessary to attend. Action Property Inspections in pueblo will provide a detailed report with photos and summaries that includes all flaws or areas of interest that might require further inspection by specialists. Andrew will call you the following evening to go over the report and answer any questions.

Our qualified inspector will inspect the house with a fine-toothed comb on the day of inspection. Andrew has found the following common defects in homes.

• Roof problems (incorrectly built or deteriorating roofing elements)
• Problems with internal roofing (damp, damaged insulation or cracks).
• Poor drainage of allotments can lead to a variety of problems
• Foundation issues, e.g., Subsidence or deteriorating stumps
• Moisture or apparent internal plumbing issues (leaking showers etc.)
• Internal movement can cause uneven flooring or cracks.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A BUILDING INSPECTION?

On the same night that the building inspection was completed, you will receive a detailed report about the building inspection. Our “Full Defect Building Reports”, which are not only compliant with the Australian Standard but also exceed it, are what we provide. The reports are clear and concise and can be read by prospective homebuyers.

Andrew will conduct a comprehensive home inspection to identify any deficiencies in the home you are considering buying. After weighing all options, the goal is to provide enough information to help you decide what to do.

WHAT OPTIONS DO YOU HAVE AFTER THE BUILDING INSPECTION RESULTS?

It’s possible to be attracted by an obvious renovation project and expect extensive repairs. Or, you might be interested in a Queenslander that has been recently renovated and then have your hopes dashed by the amazing cover-up work done by a professional house flipper.

You have choices. When you make an offer on the house, it is important to include a clause for building inspection. If a major issue is found that requires expensive repair, you can negotiate the price or back out of the deal.

An accurate and thorough building inspection will allow you to see what you’re getting and help you make an informed decision.
