It is generally recommended to conduct a building defects inspection whenever you are buying a property, planning significant renovations, or if you suspect there are problems in your current property. For commercial properties, regular inspections may be required to comply with local building regulations and safety standards.
A defect house inspection report includes a detailed assessment of the property’s condition, listing any visible defects or issues, and the potential risks they pose. It typically provides photographs of the defects, descriptions of their severity, and recommendations for repairs or further investigations. The report can also highlight areas that require regular monitoring.
The duration of a building defects inspection depends on the size, age, and condition of the property. On average, it can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours for a thorough inspection of a standard residential property. Larger or more complex properties may require more time.
A building defects inspection should be conducted by a qualified and experienced building inspector who is knowledgeable in local building codes and standards. At SafeHome Inspection, our inspectors are certified professionals with extensive experience in identifying a wide range of building defects and providing actionable advice.
If defects are found during the inspection, you should review the inspection report carefully and consider obtaining quotes for repairs or further assessments from specialized contractors. If you are buying a property, you may use the report to negotiate with the seller to either have the defects repaired or adjust the sale price.
Building home inspections are not always mandatory, but they are highly recommended, especially for older properties or those with visible signs of wear and tear. In some cases, inspections may be required to fulfill legal, insurance, or mortgage requirements.
