Don't Sell Yourself Short - Have Building Inspections Conducted

By:


Building inspections are the simplest, most foolproof way of ensuring that the home you're buying is on the up-and-up in terms of its structural integrity and the presence of pests. Rather than risking either problem, have an inspection done before signing any contract.

Don't Sign On The Dotted Line Just Yet -

Signing a contract to purchase a home is an exciting feeling; many people rush into it because they are certain that they've found the house that is right for them and want to snap it up before someone else comes along. There's always a lot of pressure at this point in the home buying process, but you need to keep clear headed and practical to avoid making a major blunder. Before signing anything, you should have a professional company conduct a pest and building inspection on the home in question to guarantee that nothing problematic is going on. If the contract absolutely must be signed for some reason, insist that a clause indicating you are signing the contract subject to building and pest inspection approval is explicitly included in the language of the contract.

Avoid Disappointment Later On -

After signing a contract and officially buying a home, the conveyancing process commences. This is often when many people who have failed to have building inspections done discover unpleasant surprises lurking in their home-to-be. Unfortunately, signing that contract has legally bound you to the home, and the conveyancing process must proceed - or you will face penalties, fines and other problems. The only other option at this point would be to tackle the problems on your own; however, had an inspection uncovered them in the first place you could have looked for a whole other home, or had the seller take care of the problem for you.

Cover Your Bases -

Considering how complex and involved the conveyancing process is already, you certainly don't want the added burden and stress of discovering major structural flaws or pests in your new home added to the mix. The time to have pest inspections done is before signing a contract - i.e., before the conveyancing process even begins. Keeping this distinction clear in your mind will help you avoid major problems later on - and you'll be a proud homeowner that much sooner.
