When you either selling or purchasing a property, there will be a need for the property to be inspected. It may be a clause in the Contract Note that states that the purchase of a property is not unconditional until a Building Inspection has been carried out or upon purchasing a property, it is necessary for the purchaser to attend the property and measure the dimension and identify the land according to the Plan of Subdivision.

If you are selling a property, it is recommended that your Real Estate Agent collects all information in relation to anyone inspecting your property and keeps this information on a database should a query or questions need to be answered. It would also be recommended that any personal property or effects be kept in a safe and secure place whilst people are inspecting your property.

If you are purchasing a property, it is advisable that you give any required information to the Real Estate Agent or Vendor and you are entitled to inspect a property as many times as you like depending on the availability and whether it is convenient with the owner and/or the Real Estate Agent. Once you have purchased your property, you have the right to conduct a final inspection at least 7 days prior to settlement to ensure all fixtures and fittings are included and items such as swimming pool equipment items are accounted for and are to be handed over as mentioned in the Contract Note.

The reason for why you should inspect the property at the final inspection, is to ensure that the property has been kept and in the same condition as when it was when purchased, and should a dispute arise it allows us to sort out any discrepancy prior to settlement.
