INSPECTION PROCESS
INSPECTION REPORTS
PRE-SALE INSPECTIONS
Your house and property are your biggest investment – don’t risk it, let us do your homework for you. You are provided with a quality service by a professional specialist building and land inspection company.
This new Inspection Report is completed when preparing the property to proceed to sale:-
- Provides a convenient and single point of contact for all service providers and certifications.
- Provides opportunity to rectify potential issues and points of concern prior to listing.
- Maximises the return on their investment through property presentation and simple repairs and maintenance.
- Ensures all checks have been carried out and validated with Local Government.
For the seller, the MBA provides a hassle free service, including:-
- Reducing processing time and holdups in getting the contract to settlement.
- Eliminating the need for separate reports from various service providers.
Prior to the sale of any property, prospective buyers must ascertain the following:
- All building and plumbing approvals and permits have been issued.
- All structures pertaining to the property comply with relevant standards and regulations.
- All building inspections have been carried out prior to the property being put on the market.
The MBA Pre-Sale inspection report can be voluntarily given by the seller to the prospective buyer as an assurance that all standards and regulations have been met regarding the property.
The Buyer will also view the MBA Pre-Sale inspection report as a time and cost saving process that they would normally have to take responsibility for when purchasing a property.
When selling a property it is now mandatory to be Building compliant. As more property owners are undertaking Do-It-Yourself (D.I.Y.) projects, MBA has recognised the growing likelihood of property non-compliance. Building compliance requires existing Council documents and plans to be checked and validated against what is currently on site.
The following are requirements which MBA can assist with, in conjunction with Council:-
- Building approvals and permits
- Extensions, alterations and additions
- Building Compliance
- Local Government Approvals
- Copyright Act 1968 Compliance
- Identification Survey (boundaries and buildings).
- Building Certification.
Yes. The MBA Inspection Report can form part of the Contract of Sale.
Some benefits include:-
- Processing and document preparation time can be reduced for conveyancers, financial institutions, valuers and real estate agents, so contracts can be exchanged earlier.
* Subject to terms & conditions
Yes. A MBA Inspection Report can be obtained at any time, although we recommend they be undertaken as part of the preparation process prior to listing.
Undertaking a MBA Inspection Report after listing could generate renewed interest in the property by instilling more confidence in the prospective buyer and removing uncertainty for the seller.
PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTIONS
As the potential purchaser of a property, pre-purchase inspections from MBA will provide you with reassurance in the condition of the property.
A pre-purchase building inspection will also check for structural issues …you can be assured the property is “home-worthy”.
Even if the current owner decides NOT to rectify some issues which have been revealed in a pre-purchase inspection, you will be aware of these issues and an approximate cost to remedy them before committing to the purchase.
MBA offer the following pre-purchase inspections:-
- Standard visual building and pest inspections. This is a general overview of the structural condition of the property and recommended only for properties built. All accessible internal and external areas will be visually inspected for timber pests.
- A more thorough inspection of the condition and structure of the property, recommended for properties built before 2000. All accessible internal and external areas will be thoroughly inspected for timber pests.
