Building Inspection is a complete check of the property you are planning to buy by an expert who knows about building and compliance. Think of building inspection as taking your future home to a doctor for a complete health checkup before buying it. You don’t buy a simple T-shirt without trying it on, so how can you buy a house without knowing what hidden problems might be there?
The building inspection is carried out by a qualified expert who examines every part of your house to find problems and defects that could cost you thousands of dollars later. Research from Griffith and Deakin University shows that 85% of buildings have defects in Australia. So out of every 10 houses you see, 8-9 houses have problems hiding in them.
Without a professional building inspection, you are playing a very expensive guessing game with your life’s biggest purchase with the odds against you. The average Australian property buyer who skipped building inspection finds problems worth $6,434 to fix. That is why experienced property buyers always get an independent building inspection done before they sign on the dotted line.
