Why Do you Need a Pre Auction Inspection?

In contrast to pre purchase building inspections, for Pre Auction Building Inspections you need to get your report completed before auction day.

The reason is that most auctions are NOT usually conditional upon you obtain a satisfactory building and pest inspection. Once you made the winning bid, the purchase of the property is final. As a result, you could end you up purchasing a property that has lots of unexpected repair costs. Unfortunately, most buyers are not aware that the seller is under no obligation to let them know about any structural defects the property may have.

When you engage All Checked Out, you are guaranteed that you will receive a strictly independent building inspection report.  This means that you are fully aware 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 purchase 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!

What is a Pre Auction Pest Inspection Chelsea?

It is not commonly known that you only need 2mm for common timber pests (such as termites) to gain access to a property. This is all it takes for pests to cause extensive damage.  Even worse, most people don’t know that their home insurance is limited in such circumstances.

 

This is because it is unlikely your insurance will cover the cost of repairing your Chelsea home if pests were present before being purchased at auction. As a result, it is essential that a pre auction pest inspection is undertaken before you buy.

 

That is why we specialise in providing pre auction pest inspections for the Chelsea suburb of Melbourne. When All Checked Out provide pre auction pest inspections our reports are on all types of pests. Types of common pests include termites, borers and fungal decay. This way you are fully informed before you make the decision to buy your property in Chelsea at auction.

Pre Auction Building & Pest Inspection Chelsea

If you want complete peace of mind before you make the decision to buy your Chelsea property at auction, we strongly recommend both a building and pest inspection. This is especially true as building defects often lead to pest infestations.

By having both inspections done you get the most comprehensive condition report available. As All Checked Out specialise in providing combined building and pest inspections in Chelsea you are sure that you’ll get a report that highlights all the issues the property you are thinking of buying.

In addition, as we do both the building inspection at the same time as the pest inspection we provide a discount compared to when the inspections are done separately. As a result save money!
