Pre-Sale Inspections Melbourne

If you’re looking to sell a property, don’t underestimate the importance of a pre-sale property inspection. When it comes to selling, you want to be armed with as much information as possible. You need to know your property in detail to help you maximise your asking price and ease the sale process. Discovering defects during the sale can push back settlement, force you to lower your asking price or even cause potential buyers to walk away.

At Focal Point Building Inspections, we provide reliable and cost-effective pre-sale inspections carried out by independent property inspectors. We are registered builders and members of Master Builders Victoria with over 15 years of industry experience.

We offer detailed pre-sale inspection reports that thoroughly document the condition of your property. We outline all major and minor structural defects, repairs, potential issues, ongoing maintenance requirements, cosmetic damages and more.

Pre-Sale Inspections – Why it’s Important

A pre-sale inspection will provide you with detailed information regarding the condition of your property, including defects to be rectified, repairs to be made and maintenance to be carried out. Armed with this information, you can work out what work should be done before listing your property to help maximise your asking price.

A pre-sale inspection report can also help when it comes to dealing with potential buyers. You’ll be aware of and prepared for any issues with the property that potential buyers come across. Having a detailed knowledge of the condition of your property will also help to strengthen your negotiating position with buyers.

Offering buyers your independent inspection report is a good way to build trust and goodwill. You can also use the report to show potential buyers the maintenance and repairs you’ve carried out since the inspection.
