The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship of the building and pest inspector when finding the right team to facilitate your real estate investments.

In most cases, the sale of a property within Australia will be conditional upon the execution of a building and pest report.

Not only does this safeguard the investor by making sure the property is structurally sound before the purchase is concrete, but it also safeguards the lending institution, ensuring they do not loan money on a home that is possibly in dilapidated condition.

Whether or not the property is brand new, or several decades old, a well-qualified building and pest inspector will need to carry out an evaluation of it before the sales transaction can be finalized.

Even new properties can have serious building and pest issues, especially if the materials used were inappropriate for the construction, but used as a cost cutting mechanism by a shanky developer.

Older properties inevitably have several possible problems or the precursors to several problems that the buyer should be aware of from the outset.

Before you make an offer on a property, you need to have appointed a trusted and qualified building and pest inspector.

Why?

Because once you sign a contract on a home you usually only have 14 days before you are expected to go unconditional with the sale, and therefore you need to find a building and pest inspector to carry out their investigations within 2 weeks of making the offer this does not offer you much time if you've not even started shopping around for an accredited building and pest inspector to use.

The building and pest inspector will report on the quality and condition of the property in question  if the property is found to be extremely poor quality or perhaps has an invasion of white ants you will be glad, as a buyer, that your purchase was conditional upon a satisfying report from your building inspection.

A poor report can basically get you out of a sale that would be a poor investment decision within your portfolio.

Savvy investors will be forever grateful.
