When should you arrange a Combined Building & Pest Inspection?

After buying a property and paperwork is complete, there's a five day cooling off period, in this time there is the option to nullify the contract as long as you give written notice.

 

It is common for Sydney property buyers to have a Building and Pest Inspection at the time of the cooling off period. We recommend that you organise an inspection before contracts are signed. This is gives you enough time to understand the info and gives you the chance to change your offer based on the information you find during a Building and Pest Inspection.

 

The cooling off period is void if you purchase a property at an auction or swap contracts the same day as auction after it is passed in.

 

At many times, property vendors in Sydney organise Building and Pest inspections with our company. We can give you copies of this information to potential buyers at a discount.
