SELLING A PROPERTY?

Find the problems before your buyer does.

One of the biggest risks when selling a property is an unexpected issue being discovered during the buyer's building inspection — after you've already negotiated the sale.

This can lead to:

Last-minute price negotiations
Buyers asking for repairs
Delays while further inspections are arranged
Uncertainty for the vendor and agent
In some cases, the sale falling over completely

A Pre-Sale Building Inspection puts the vendor one step ahead.

Before the property goes to market, Book a Builder Property Inspections can complete a comprehensive pre-sale inspection of the property.

The inspection is carried out by a qualified builder and BOINZ Accredited Building Surveyor, allowing the vendor and agent to understand the condition of the property before prospective buyers begin carrying out their own due diligence.

FIND IT. FIX IT. UPDATE IT.

If the inspection identifies an issue, the vendor has the opportunity to deal with it before it becomes a buyer's issue.

Where repairs or maintenance identified in our report are subsequently completed and we can appropriately verify the work, the report can be updated to reflect the property's current condition.

This means simple maintenance items don't need to remain in the report after they've been properly addressed.

BETTER FOR THE VENDOR. EASIER FOR THE AGENT.

A pre-sale inspection can help:

✓ Reduce unexpected surprises during buyer due diligence

✓ Give vendors time to address maintenance before listing

✓ Reduce last-minute renegotiations

✓ Give agents a clearer understanding of the property they're selling

✓ Provide prospective buyers with useful information upfront

✓ Reduce the risk of building issues disrupting a sale at the last minute

Rather than waiting for a buyer's inspector to discover an issue once the property is under contract, find out before the property goes to market.
