PRE AUCTION BUILDING INSPECTIONS MELBOURNE

it is a major decision to buy a new home (both financially and emotionally). That is why it is so important to obtain a pre auction building inspection report BEFORE you buy your new home in Melbourne at auction.

It is the only way that you are assured of not getting unexpected repair costs after you have made the winning bid at auction. This is especially true as the seller is not required to let you know about any structural defects that the property may have. In addition, most auctions are not conditional on getting a building inspection. Furthermore, you can’t assume that your home insurance will cover the cost of repairs – as often they won’t.

Why it's Important to Have a Pre Auction Building Inspection

Pre auction building inspections are the same as pre purchase building inspections. However, with pre auction inspections you need to get your report completed before auction day.

This is due to the fact that most auction conditions are NOT usually conditional upon you obtaining a satisfactory building and pest inspection. Once you have made the winning bid it is too late. This means you may end up with a property that will have a lot of unexpected repair costs. This is especially true as the seller is under no obligation to let you know about any structural defects the property may have.

You are assured, when you engage All Checked Out,  that you will receive a strictly independent building inspection report.  This means you are fully informed about the condition of the property before you decide to bid at auction.

With reports starting from a low $450 (inc GST), it is well worth it for your peace of mind.

What is a Pre Auction Building Inspection?

A pre auction inspection provides a detailed, easy to read report, that tells you about the major faults a home has. This includes any cracking walls, rising damp, leaking roofs and safety hazards. The report will also highlight any unauthorised work, as well as whether the faults can be fixed.

It is recommended by Consumers Affairs Victoria that you consider engaging a qualified building inspector to make sure all faults are found. This includes one where attempts have been made to cover them up!
