Building and Pest Inspections [Everything You Need to Know]! Don’t Buy A Home Without Watching This!

[@AriagaII]

Thank you so much for going into the detail of what happens AFTER a building inspection and strategies and good examples on how we can actually make use of it. Not just explaining what it is and leaving it at that. Perfect for first home buyers.

Thanks for sharing this! Definitely an eye-opener for anyone considering buying a home. Inspection is key 🔍🏠

[@MortgageBrokerAustralia]

Absolutely!!

I can tell you don’t get an inspector that works alone get a two man team one of the building specialist and one that’s a pest specialist and 100% make sure that they check for carpet Beatles this is when the house is unsanitary and buildup of crud happens on the edges of the carpet and it looks like little bits of carpet of been chewed away

[@MortgageBrokerAustralia]

Good tip! Opting for a two-person inspection team, with one expert in building structure and another in pests, is a savvy move. They’ll cover all bases, making sure things like carpet beetles, which signal deeper cleanliness issues, are spotted before you buy.

If you are buying a brand new apartment do you still need to get a pest inspection .. I think a building inspection will be needed to be sure nothing is left out

[@MortgageBrokerAustralia]

Thanks DayvBoy, might not be a bad thing to have a building inspection prior to the handover.

Thanks for watching!

Building & pest inspection is very important. But I have noticed that the report is full of "disclaimers" ... what if the inspector failed to detect an important issue? Does the inspector have an insurance to cover for his/her mistakes?

[@MortgageBrokerAustralia]

Thanks Massimiliano, great question and would be one to check with a legal professional - esp. given the disclaimers might cover them from liability, but definitely one to speak with a legal professional about.

Thanks, but still got confused with your comments and some of your replies below. For the first home buyer, buying a brand-new house just being built here in Victoria, which one do we need? 1)-a defect or handover inspection or 2)- getting a Building & Pest Inspection or 3)- 1&2?

[@MortgageBrokerAustralia]

Thanks Peemun, that's a great question. Please liaise with your solicitor on this but certainly doesn't hurt to do more check - esp. with what we've seen with brand new properties and issues that have cropped up - www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-24/mascot-towers-apartment-owners-still-living-in-limbo/12911968
