Why do I need an inspection even for a brand new home?

Getting a handover report will ensure you are protected from any substandard workmanship and builders that may cut corners when building your new home. Taking place prior to the purchaser taking possession of their new home, a handover inspection will ensure your home is ready to move in to and will highlight in detail any defects and imperfections, plus it will protect you in the future if you decide to sell.

Does the property need to be vacant for the duration of the inspection?

No, our inspectors don’t require the property being inspected to be vacant during of the inspection. You (our client) are welcome to walk through the house with the inspector, however, if the property is tenanted or the owners are living in it, it’s recommended that you or the real estate agent organise for the property to be vacated if possible while our inspector is on site.

This assists with the overall accuracy of your inspection report as our inspector will have better, uninterrupted access to the property with fewer limitations.

For what reason should I get a building inspection?
