Brisbane home inspection services
Whether you are considering the next step up the property ladder in Brisbane or planning a buy-to-let venture in order to fund your retirement or similar, you'll want to be as sure as you can be that your property investment is a good one. Before completing the purchasing transaction, it's important to have some idea of the condition that the property is in. Often it's not possible to accurately determine the condition of walls or foundations unless you are appropriately trained and experienced. Even serious structural problems may initially present as quite minor imperfections which are all to easy to ignore or miss unless you know what you're looking for. For most buyers, a building inspection report makes sound economic sense.
What is a building inspection report?
Completed by a fully qualified and time-served buildings professional, the aim of a building inspection is to take careful note of any potential issues with the condition of the property. The information to inform the report is obtained through an expert visual inspection of the property, prior to the sale being completed. The building inspector will check a large number of different variables, as well as highlight any problems which they have found. The data obtained is then brought together in the form of a report. If issues are discovered through the building inspection, Brisbane purchasers can then make their decision on the best course of action to take.
What does an Australian property & building inspection cover?
The scope of an inspection is contained within the report. Obviously, there are a few things which can't be picked up through visual inspection, so these are excluded. The type of issues which the inspector will look out for include:
- Evidence of water damage (for example rust, mould or structural deterioration).
- Cracks, sagging or other signs of structural issues.
- Issues with fittings such as sanitary ware, showers, boilers or household appliances.
- Condition of the walls, ceiling and floor.
- Issues with chimneys, fireplaces, doors or windows.
It is important to note that relatively minor problems may be a sign that something more serious is going on. For example, a sticking door may be due to poorly finished timber which has caused the door to swell, or it may be a sign that your property is subsiding on one or more sides, slightly altering the dimensions of the doorway.
