Why We're The Gold Coast's Favorite Building and Pest Inspectors
Advice
If you are trying to sell your home, it’s in your best interest that your home is maintained and kept in good condition. The building inspector will report every defect they see, no matter how small. Here is some advice to help you represent your home in the best light when the inspector comes.
Make sure your home is clean and clear of clutter
This ensures that your home can be examined properly, and the inspector doesn’t have to spend time moving objects out of the way. The inspector will need full access to each area of the home to inspect the walls and floor. Each room should be free of clutter, pictures on the walls, rugs should be removed, and furniture will need to be away from the walls. The car should be out of the garage.
Do not obstruct or lock areas
Rooms need to be unlocked and items should not be placed underneath or in front of manholes or sub-floors.
Have documentation ready
If you have had renovations or repairs done to your home, ensure you have these documents readily available for the building inspector to view if they ask for them.
Vacate the premises
If you are selling your home, the potential buyers of your property may wish to be there with the building inspector to ask questions. Give them privacy to this comfortably. We generally say allow 1 – 2 hours for a building inspection, but the inspector can give you a more specific timeline on the day based on the size of your property and whether there is clear access or not.
