But are all these winning elements just surface shine? And could this apparently gorgeous home be hiding some hidden monstrosity behind the walls?
To find out, you need the best building and pest inspection Gold Coast. They can conduct a thorough inspection that will find any current issues and any foreseeable problems down the track.
Let’s find out why you should always go for a building and pest inspection before purchase.

Inspectors can find the problems that others can’t
Many people think they can spot any problems with a home. This might be just about so, but there are many issues a home could have that an unqualified person just couldn’t spot.
Think anything from pests (rodens, termites, ants, cockroaches etc.) to mould and decay, structural faults with the bearings, joints, stumps, walls and flooring and so much more.
For their ability to spot these issues and more, building and pest inspectors have become invaluable to potential homeowners looking for the right place.

They can help you negotiate on price
If, hypothetically, your selected inspector finds one of the above or another problem with the potential purchase, they can help you negotiate a better price than the owner was asking for.
Owners and agents may be aware of faults with the property or they may be not, but either way, they shouldn’t be able to comfortably ask a particular price if in a few months you are going to have to pay for repairs on the bearings.
Your building and pest inspector will tell you if there is anything wrong with the property and this, in turn, will help you negotiate a much fairer deal.

They go into bat on your behalf
Many agents and homeowners can be quite cunning and downright pushy when it comes to purchasing a home (even one rife with faults!). But if you have a qualified, experienced building inspector working on your behalf, you will know the exact details of the house and, if any faults are found, have something to fall back on if they are trying to push you for a deal.
You are enlisting their services to help you find a; the right home for you to buy and, b; something to point out if the owner is trying to stiff you for the price.

They have the experience to help you get the best deal
Reputable building and pest inspectors have typically been applying their trade for many years.
They have seen it all, from poorly built homes to homes that are infested with you-don’t-wanna-know-what, and they have the skills and experience to help you get a great deal or back out of a potential deal that would mess you over in the future.

They care about your investment
At the end of the day, the building and pest inspector is a worthy partner who cares about you getting an amazing deal on your first, second or whatever property. They know what they’re doing and weed out dodgy homes like it’s no one’s business, and they will happily apply their trade to a home you are considering purchasing.
After all, they may find nothing, but at least you will have the peace of mind that you are, of course, moving into a beautiful and structurally sound home.
