A Guide to House
Inspections
If you’ve bought a few homes in your time you’ll already be aware of the value of house
inspections. Sydney homes come in all shapes, sizes and ages – and a few come with a multitude of potentially
expensive problems that you won’t see at a ‘home open’.
A professional property inspection is an essential tool in helping you make
the right decision when it comes to making a property purchase. By investing in a property inspection, you give
yourself the best chance of identifying any significant problems or defects affecting the property.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Are you aware of the potential value of property
inspections? Sydney homes can have a range of problems, particularly older homes. If you're planning on buying
a home in Sydney, investing in a property inspection is wise. Pre-purchase inspections help prospective buyers
establish any existing or potential problems with the property, and can help buyers make a more informed
decision about their purchase.
Property inspections vary somewhat depending on the property and on the
expertise of the inspector, but a standard inspection may take several hours. The inspector will examine various
areas of the house, and will note any areas where replacements, repairs or servicing might be required; or where
there appears to be damage, unapproved structures, or other concerns. A detailed written report will be provided to
the prospective buyer after the inspection.
