Protect Yourself with Pre-Sale Building Inspections

Posted by Choice Building Inspections on April 21st, 2017

These days more and more people are opting for building inspections whether they are buying or selling a property. By getting a pre-sale building inspection, owners will be able to determine the exact condition of the property at any given point of time. 

Building Inspection companies provide experienced Inspectors to the building to check the exterior and interior of the property to find out any damaged areas or termite infestation. They use different techniques such as infrared thermal imaging to help check parts of the building that are not as easily accessible. 

With the latest infrared technology, the inspector may find any leaking pipes, termite infestation, electrical wire issues as well as insulation problems in the building. By finding out issues that need to be repaired, people can hire contractors to complete the necessary maintenance tasks. 

Pest and termite infestation can cause structural damage to a building, weakening it over time. A timely check by an inspection team can save the building structure from suffering major damage. Experienced inspection teams can uncover the nests of active termites as well. Immediately dealing with these issues can save you a lot of money, especially if the building inspection team has uncovered them in the early stages. 

It is important to get a pre-sale building inspection completed before you even put a price tag on it. Knowing the exact condition of the building can help you price it right- it may also assist you to gain trust from purchasers since they know the current condition of the building. 

All you need to do is, schedule an appointment with a building inspection company. They will send a qualified Inspector at the specified time that will use a range of tools and methods to check the status of the building. They will inspect the walls, Ceilings, Roof, Subfloors and the majority of components of the home. The Inspector will then create a detailed report that he will send you by email. You can also share these with your real estate and settlement agents. 

Many property inspection companies have packages that you can choose for a thorough inspection of all parts of the building. They also give special discounts to first time home buyers. Make sure to inquire about these when you hire them for inspection to save money while engaging building inspection services.
