What do our property inspections encompass?
We will seek out any possible defects that perhaps the seller or agent are trying to cover up with one of our inspections. The housing market across Geelong, Torquay and Lara is competitive, so there are plenty of vendors willing to cut corners or outright lie if they think it will sell the property. Our fully qualified and highly trained professional inspectors will locate and identify even minor faults in the building. If these are not dealt with immediately, they could result in untold thousands of dollars in additional repairs in the future, thus making your overall purchase price far in excess of that which you had originally intended to spend.
Your comprehensive building inspections report will be delivered pre purchase
Our pre purchase building inspections in the Geelong, Lara and Armstrongs Creek area consist of an intense, comprehensive survey undertaken to Australian Standards 4349.1, after which a detailed written report is prepared. This building report will include explanatory, high quality photos, depicting in detail each and every defect we identify. The report will also identify any other areas of concern we feel you should be made aware of prior to purchase. The report will be emailed to you within 24 hours of its completion but in any event, we will telephone you with the outline results once we have completed our inspection.
