How many times have you purchased a property only to discover that it was much more than what you bargained for? If you haven’t bought or sold property before, there’s no better time than now to educate yourself about the process and investigate various ways to save money on repairs and other expenses. One of the best things you can do when buying or selling your home is to employ the services of a building and pest inspector in Melbourne. Here are five reasons why this investment in your future home is so important.

Not having a thorough building and pest inspection performed before buying a property can lead to unpleasant surprises down the track, including substantial costs due to termite damage or the need to demolish and rebuild the whole house to make it structurally sound again. Here are some things you should know about getting your house inspected before buying it, so you don’t have nasty surprises further down the line.

Hiring a Building and Pest inspector in Melbourne to conduct your pre purchase building inspection is a very smart move as he will report on all minor, major, and structural defects within a home giving you peace of mind that there are no hidden surprises.

Contrary to popular belief, property inspections are not just something that investors do when they’re planning on buying or selling a property. In fact, anyone who has even the slightest thought of investing in property should have their potential purchase inspected first by an expert. This is because defects such as structural and termite damage can be present on properties even if they look visually perfect from the outside. The presence of such defects will cost you many thousands of dollars to rectify if you only discover them once you move in and start living there.

Nothing is worse than buying an expensive new home that’s filled with hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of defects—from termite damage to structural problems and more—that you must pay someone else to fix, on top of all the other fees you’re already paying on your property. That’s why it’s so important to hire the right building and pest inspector in Melbourne before you buy your next property, to ensure that any potential problems are found before you make the decision to buy the home.

I cant understand when people ring and ask one question only, “what’s the cost for a Building and Pest Inspection Report” ,they should ask about the experience of the Building and Pest Inspector conducting the building inspection, is he qualified and with what organisation, the most important aspect is that the inspector should be registered with the Victorian Building Authority, always ask for the Building and Pest Inspectors registration details to check with the Building Authority.
