Pre-Purchase Building Inspections from $495-00
H & K Ryan's building inspection reports within Sydney are fully descriptive, they show the site, the exterior, the roof exterior, the roof void, the sub floor areas for timber floor construction and the entire interior room by room. They also include photographs of defects and any other problems we find.
Do, or will you know, if your new home has been built by an "Owner Builder " ? H & K Ryan will as you need to know to prevent you from losing potential value in the future. Owner Builders must provide you with a Home Owners Warranty Certificate when they sell their homes in the required period. BEWARE!
An "Owner Builder" does not have the ability to access real issues while constructing nor do they depend on others knowing the Australian Standards, so don't get caught.
A thorough search to identify existing and potential problem areas puts you, the purchaser, in a better negotiating position with the selling Agent. most Agents don't like what we find, therefore that is how we know we are doing our job. Finding problems before you buy may allow you to renegotiate the price of the purchase property or have repairs carried out by the vendor, or a price reduction, prior to the purchase. Of course, we can offer remedies to any problems we find and all of our pre-purchase inspections comply with the Australian Standard (AS4349.1-2007)
