What to expect from a Safe House Home Inspection

We do Pre-Purchase Home Inspections in Sydney

Home inspection basics
You’ve chosen a home, made the offer and now comes the inspection — a vital step in buying a home, particularly for firsttime home buyers. It’s important to check any new home thoroughly. A qualified home inspector looks at everything with a trained eye, pointing out defects you may not catch on your own.

How do I choose a home inspector?
Many buyers hire the first inspector they find. But don’t settle for less. Carefully research every home inspector and consider several factors:

• Qualifications, certifications and training
• Knowledge of building codes
• Number of years inspecting homes
• Referrals and references
• Related work experience

Property inspections and reports

To avoid problems and extra costs later on, you should know as much as you can about the condition of a property before you buy. Besides inspecting the property yourself, you can also
arrange for property inspection reports, such as a building inspection report. As a prospective buyer, when you ask for a contract of sale, the agent must inform you about previous property inspection reports that have been commissioned. You might be able to negotiate a
cheaper price to repurchase a report.

General information

The inspector should check all accessible parts of the property.
These include:

• interior of the building
• exterior of the building
• roof space
• under-floor space
• roof exterior

You may also ask for a particular item or part of the property to be
inspected, such as:

• visible signs of asbestos
• existence of an operable electrical safety switch
• operable smoke alarms.
