Pre Purchase Inspections Central Coast and Newcastle
Inspectors and the Industry
It may come as a surprise that Building and Property Inspectors are not regulated under the Home Building Act in NSW or required to be licensed by NSW Fair Trading since 2009. With the purchase of a ‘home’ being typically our largest single lifetime investment, the cost of a Building and Pest Inspection is a small outlay, but the associated risks of second rate advice can be high. With the Building Consultancy market for Pre-Purchase Inspections deregulated, there has been an influx of "pseudo" building "professionals" offering unqualified and inexperienced advice on often complex construction issues. It is therefore imperative that you, the purchaser, ensures that your inspector has sufficient industry experience and is also covered by current appropriate insurance.
