Why do I need a professional building inspector?

Buying a property is probably the most significant investment you will make in your life. Therefore it's important to make sure you are getting what you paid for.

There is always a risk that your dream home comes with problems that you only discover after you move in. These faults can be difficult to identity if you don't know what to look for and may be hiding behind cosmetic repairs.

Also, any renovation that doesn’t meet Australian standards generally become your responsibility once you buy the property.

Therefore the cost of a professional building inspection is minor compared to the risk of buying a house that needs expensive repairs after you have purchased it.

It makes sense then to engage an independent, qualified building inspector to check the property before you buy it. Organising your own inspection is critical to ensure you are getting impartial and accurate information.

Bayside House Inspections are an experience and independent building inspector that provides a written report that lists any faults with the property and an indication of whether they can be repaired. It will also identify any unsafe or non-compliant renovations and/or extensions that have been done.
