Inspections report on the condition of the property and highlight any areas that may need work or maintenance in the near future.
Pre-sale inspections - If you are planning to put your home on the market, then a pre-sale inspection can be done beforehand. This inspection highlights any areas that might need work before you sell and anything that could prove dealbreakers or stumbling blocks for buyers. You may provide the report to potential buyers but don't be offended if they request their own. We recommend that you get your pre-sale inspection done at least 2 weeks before putting your property on the market to give you time to rectify any minor issues.
Pre-purchase inspections - If you have put in an offer on a property, then you can make a pre-purchase inspection one of the conditions of sale. Inspection reports help you to make an informed decision. You may choose to go ahead with the purchase, negotiate with the seller to get some repairs done or break off your sale. You may also need to present the inspection report to your bank or mortgage lender. Even if a vendor has undertaken a pre-sale inspection, it is recommended to get your own independent inspection done.
