Our business, 8 Point Building Inspections, recently completed a pre-purchase building, termite & pest inspection for a customer in Port Melbourne. The customer was referred to us by a friend and chose us because of our reputation for thoroughness and attention to detail.
The property was a double-storey townhouse and our inspector, Drew, found a couple of minor building defects which are also considered a safety hazard. Firstly the internal staircase was missing the handrail and the windows in the upstairs bedrooms were able to be opened further than is currently legal. These defects are easily rectified and Drew gave the client advice on the appropriate trades to engage who could to rectify the issue. These findings did not deter our client from making an offer for the property and they were very happy with the service that we provided and the level of detail in our report.
If you are considering buying a property, we highly recommend that you get a professional building inspection done to avoid any nasty surprises down the track. Contact us today to book an inspection.
