REPORT ON THE CONDITION OF YOUR HOME
A report on the condition of your home can assist you in selling your home faster and obtaining the best possible price for your property.
Before you engage a real estate agent to sell your home, it is recommended that you engage a reputable , experienced firm such as Finalinspect to thoroughly inspect your home and prepare a detailed report on the condition of your home.
A detailed report on the condition of your home will outline all defects / outstanding works that need to be rectified / completed before you list your property for sale with your chosen real estate agent. By identifying defects and outstanding works before you sell, you can engage the necessary tradespersons to carry out the required remedial works so that you can present your property in the best possible light.
If the report on the condition of your home is very positive (and only lists a few very minor defects), this report can be handed to every prospective purchaser who is interested in your home. When you arrange for a report to be prepared on the condition of the home you are planning to sell, it is important that the report is not supplied directly to prospective purchasers by the Vendor or handed to prospective purchasers by the real estate agent. Rather, the report remains the property of the building inspection firm who is solely responsible for disseminating the report directly to those people who show an interest in your property.
When a building inspection firm is solely responsible for disseminating the building report to prospective purchasers, it is more likely to be perceived as independent.
THE BENEFITS OF PREPARING A REPORT ON THE CONDITION OF YOUR HOME BEFORE YOU SELL
The main benefits of preparing a report on the condition of your home before you sell it are:
The report can be used to highlight all defects and outstanding works that need to be rectified / completed before you list your property for sale. That is, address the issues before the prospective purchasers point them out and use them to negotiate a lower sales price.
Only one inspection takes place and only one report is prepared and made available to prospective purchasers via the building inspection firm. Each purchaser pays the same price for the report.
If prospective purchasers want to arrange an inspection, the real estate agent advises them that a report has already been prepared and a copy of the report can be obtained from the building inspection firm at a fee.
Multiple building inspectors don’t inspect the property. Therefore, the risk of damage to the home (eg. caused by multiple inspectors crawling around in the roof space) is minimised and the time wasted arranging for multiple inspections over a period of several weeks is eliminated.
