OUR BUILDING INSPECTION SERVICES
By having a pre-purchase building inspection, you can avoid any unexpected surprises and hidden costs associated with repairs or renovations. Furthermore, you will be able to negotiate with the seller from a position of knowledge and potentially save money on the purchase price. In conclusion, a pre-purchase building inspection is an essential step in the property buying process, providing you with peace of mind and financial protection.
Pest infestation is a risk that every homeowner faces, with termites, wood borers, and wood rot being the most prevalent timber pests. These insidious creatures can wreak havoc on the structural integrity of your property, leading to significant financial costs and the displacement of you and your family. Moreover, a compromised timber structure poses serious safety concerns that cannot be overlooked. Safeguarding your home against these pests is of utmost importance to ensure the longevity and safety of your property.
Be aware of any potential structural issues that may have an impact on a sale before putting the property on the market. Be in a position to carry out any repairs and maintenance that may be required before they become a problem for a sale.
Building depreciation is a natural process that occurs as properties undergo wear and tear over time. Fortunately, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows owners of income-producing properties to claim this depreciation as a tax deduction. To maximize your tax benefits and provide evidence for your tax return, it’s important to obtain a tax depreciation schedule.
The vendor is obligated to ensure the property is in the same condition as agreed upon in the contract, and any discrepancies should be resolved before the settlement date. In summary, a pre-settlement inspection is a critical step in ensuring that you receive the property in the condition you agreed upon in the contract of sale. This can be done at any reasonable time a few days before settlement.
A pre handover inspection or Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) is a type of building report for the buyer of a newly constructed home and takes place prior to the buyer taking possession of their new home but after all the building work has been completed.
It’s generally the final stage in the construction of a home or unit, and an essential step in the home building process so that buyers can be certain that the work carried out on their new home has been done to the agreed upon standards and properly completed.
Dilapidation reports capture the visible structural condition of a property before nearby construction or excavation begins for future comparison.
These reports, conducted by Leading’s experienced inspectors, visually document the property’s current state, including existing damage and areas likely to be impacted by nearby works. They include notes, measurements, photographs, and diagrams.
If changes in the property’s condition occur during or after the construction, contact Leading for a re-inspection to document the extent of these changes.
If you’re looking at purchasing a home that’s part of a Strata set up, have you thought about getting a Strata corp inspection audit report that could affect the overall value?
