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.

An "Owner Builder" does not have the ability to understand the hierarchy nor to assess real issues while constructing nor do they depend on others knowing the Australian Standards, so don't get caught.
Property Purchase Consultancy to comply with relevant referenced Australian Standards and NCC Codes for Residential Construction compliance only
A thorough search to identify existing and potential problem areas put you, the purchaser, in a better negotiating position with the selling Agent.

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)
