When it comes to Pest & Building Inspections most people assume that they are only relevant to purchasers as part of their pre-exchange process. But having your home inspected for structural and termite damage can also be valuable prior to selling.
Why? Because it gives you control over the selling and negotiation process: if no issues are found you will have peace of mind knowing that the purchaser wont be able to use any problems as a means of negotiating the price down. And if issues are found you can take action to resolve it before your home is listed for sale.
Hidden problems can only be identified by a licensed professional
Even if your property appears to be structurally sound and there is no visible indication that termites are present, there could be hidden problems lurking in the foundations, roof, plumbing or walls that only a professional can identify.
While most buyers will insist on having their own pest & building inspections conducted, showing them the reports that you have had prepared shows them that you have nothing to hide about the condition of your property, and gives them less ammunition to negotiate.
Delivering control, transparency, & fixable solutions
At the end of the day, Pest & Building Inspections aren't deal breakers. They deliver control, transparency & fixable solutions.
We work closely with a contractor who can provide pest and building reports for around $400 – a small price to pay as an insurance policy for your sale.
