Buying a property is often very emotional. You see something you like and the impulse is to buy it. But it’s what you don’t see that necessitates a building and pest inspection before buying.
Getting a building inspection done lets you know that the property is structurally sound. It also tells you about rising damp in the walls and if the wiring is up to standard. It will also tell you the condition of the roof. All these things are not normally known upon one’s own visual inspection.
Even new properties and renovated ones need inspecting.
Peter Georgiev, an architect who inspects for Archicentre, delineates the three most common types of inspections.
“There’s the investor who wants to have some knowledge that the property is not going to cost them a fortune….Then there’s the purchaser who is looking at something to renovate and they really want a position statement as to whether the property has reasonable bones for renovation…and there are those people who think they’ve got a property that they can move straight into and they want an assurance that the place is not going to cost them a lot of money in the short term,” he comments.
“Having a property inspection done is a small price to pay for the peace of mind it brings”
