What is a Brand New Property Report?
A Brand New Property Report details:
- the main issues which you will need to get the owner's contractor
to fix up
- the certificates we recommend you ask for
- the little irritating things you need to told about such as badly
scratched glass, cracked tiles, sloppy workmanship.
Armed with the information contained in the Report you can choose
to:
- live with the problems
- ask the owner to get his contractor to fix or complete his work
- walk away from any really poorly built building.
Who does it?
Building Consultants are normally engaged to conduct Brand New Property Reports.
How long does it take to prepare?
A written Report is available within 72 hours of inspection and
an urgent 24-hour service can be arranged on request.
Why?
Many buyers think they do not need to arrange a property
inspection for new or recently completed or renovated properties. This
is certainly not our experience. If you don't identify the problems
prior to purchase, you will face considerable difficulty and cost
getting the contractor to fix them in the future even if you have
checked they have mandatory home warranty insurance.
Aim?
To make sure you are getting reasonable quality and what you are paying
for. Every year hundreds of thousands of a buildings are constructed or
renovated without any professional quality assurance. This means you
take a risk that the new work you are buying is unfinished or needs
defects fixed.
Which types of properties are inspected?
Every type of new property
requires thorough inspection including:
- homes
- units
- major renovations
- owner built projects
- commercial properties
- investments.?
