YOUR PRE-SALE INSPECTION - A PROCESS
Today we completed a pre-sale inspection for a past client who had bought 10 years ago in Murwillumbah and used us for his pre-purchase inspection - thank you sir, for your return business!
Our man had a very interesting query when he booked in:
"Can I confirm please how it will work with your report? The purpose of getting a building inspection done is to prepare our property for sale. If there are repairs that need to be carried out to ensure a clean B&P report I will have those repairs completed. Once I provide evidence of this are you able to amend your report accordingly so the report doesn't highlight these issues? Hopefully you can do so without another inspection."
It seems like this would be a common question in people's minds when preparing to list their property for sale.
Our response was this:
"To answer your question - we are happy to issue you with a second report after repairs have been completed, however we are not able to do so without a second inspection. We can give you a discount on the second inspection but we are not able to modify our reports without actually sighting the rectifications.
There are a few other options if you want to avoid a second inspection:
1. Have the report done and fix items that appear on the major defects list. Keep the original report so that you can show prospective purchasers that the major defect items have been addressed.
2. Have the report done and fix the items that appear on the major defects list. Do not show prospective buyers and let them get their own building inspections done once the house is under contract - chances are, they will do that anyway, as buyers do not always like to rely on the building inspection report commissioned by the owner.
3. Have the report done and do not address any of the items - adjust your sale price accordingly and let buyers know that you have taken those items into consideration."
I hope this conversation has been enlightening and useful - getting yourself truly ready to meet the market is a process and it's important you ask all the questions while you're going through the steps so that you don't get twisted around in the communication. On the bright side, in this market if you listen to the advice of your trusted agent, it shouldn't take long to sell!
