Why Do you Need a Pre Auction Inspection?

Pre-auction building inspections, also known as pre-purchase building inspections, share many similarities. However, the critical distinction lies in the timing: with pre-auction inspections, it’s imperative to obtain your report before the auction day. Delaying this process could result in you buying a home that has a lot of defects you are not aware of/

Unlike many auction sales, which typically lack conditions dependent on satisfactory building and pest inspections, winning a bid binds you irrevocably. This lack of flexibility underscores the importance of being proactive. Unforeseen structural issues may incur substantial repair costs, especially considering sellers are not obligated to disclose such defects.

By choosing All Checked Out, you’re guaranteed an independent building inspection report. This ensures comprehensive awareness of the property’s condition prior to making any auction bids, empowering you to make an informed decision.

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 Hampton?

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 Hampton 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 Hampton 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 Hampton at auction.

Pre Auction Building & Pest Inspection Hampton

If you want complete peace of mind before you make the decision to buy your Hampton 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 Hampton 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!
