How to Prepare for a Home Inspection

Home inspections in Sydney are common in the real estate industry. They help buyers make an educated decision about whether or not to purchase a home. 

 

Here are a few steps to follow before getting a home or building inspection in Sydney:

  • The first thing people should do is to schedule the home inspection. It is important that you hire a reputable company or person, with experience in performing inspections. You can ask for references and testimonials from previous clients before deciding who to choose as your inspector.

  • Next, it’s time to prepare for what will be occurring during the process itself. If there are any areas of concern on your property (such as places where rodents have been seen), be sure these problems are fixed prior to having an inspector come out. For example, if you know that mice have made their way into the walls of your house then this problem needs immediate fixing because rodent droppings could make up more than half of all samples taken by the inspector.

  • You should also make sure that you and any other occupants of the home (including family members, pets, etc.) are not there during the inspection. This will allow for a thorough examination of all aspects to take place without interruption or interference.

 

If possible, it is best if no one has been inside the home for at least 24-48 hours before an inspection takes place as this allows time for any smells (such as cigarette smoke) or other odours which may be present in a space to go away and not immediately be apparent upon first entering the building.

 

By following these simple steps of preparation during a home inspection, a professional inspector will have all of their tools on hand and ready to go, making them able to do what they need with ease. If you follow these guidelines then there should be nothing standing between you and getting a thorough review from an experienced individual who knows how important it is that every detail gets checked during a home inspection.
