When you're buying a new house in Melbourne, it is important that you make sure all is in order before you sign on the dotted line. When making such a large investment, you don't want to then have to pay even more to resolve any issues with the property you have just bought. This post will aim to show the importance of building and pest inspections during the house buying process.

A building inspection is a service that offers the customer some independent advice on the state of a property, whether they are the current owner, a landlord, or a potential buyer. This allows for any structural faults with the property to be highlighted before either a sale or a purchase takes place. In addition, the building and pest inspection service will also provide the customer with qualified advice on the state or condition of the property's interior, the roof void, the roof exterior and subfloor, as well as the property's exterior.

A pest inspection checks for any signs of pests on a property. The most common pests are termites or activity from borers. This, again, allows you to save thousands on any potential issues with the property.

Both building inspections and pest inspections are vital to any house buying process. Carrying out both of these inspections can potentially save you thousands after purchasing a house. Therefore, as both are necessary inspections, it can be useful to combine the two together as this allows for a more streamlined experience without the need to hire different companies. This can help save both time and money during the stressful buying or selling process.

When looking for a building or pest inspector, you should look for a company that offers a combined service. Fortunately, at Australian Property and Building Inspections (APBI) Melbourne, we offer just that, allowing you a more streamlined inspection experience.
