Before you buy a new home, your solicitor or conveyance will probably recommend that a licensed builder inspect the building for general building and structural defects prior to settlement. This inspection will ensure that any building defect(s), which may adversely affect the safety, amenity, and structural integrity of the building or health of occupants is bought to the notice of the intended purchaser.

In New South Wales, a pre-purchase building inspection must be conducted and reported in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 4349.1, and should be carried out by a Builder who has Professional Indemnity Insurance in place for Pre Purchase inspections.

Just think, you could save a few hundred dollars by opting out of a pre purchase building inspection. It may seem tempting on the surface, but making sure the building you are purchasing is safe, requires no expensive repairs and conforms with council regulations is absolutely essential. It could stop you from making the biggest financial mistake of your life.
