When buying real estate, nothing convinces the potential buyers that they are offering too much for a property, then to learn the building is infested with unwanted pests or has a structural downside. All too many deals get canceled during the cooling off period because the buyer orders a pre-purchase bug and building evaluation and finds of a previously unknown problem which will be expensive to remediate. These breakthrough discoveries are not necessarily something being concealed by the seller -- the seller never knew the conditions existed. But when these problems come to light, for example, when a buyer orders an evaluation from the Brisbane building inspectors, the result is often a canceled deal or renegotiation. Savvy buyers and even savvier sellers use Brisbane building assessments to protect their investments.
Is it the seller's responsibility to disclose property flaws?
Although in all sales transaction, full disclosure is the goal, states do not place a duty on sellers to discover latent problems with their propertiesVital Building Inspections. Often sellers are blissfully unaware of major bug problems, particularly termites and wood-destroying unwanted pests that are eating away at their home. As a consumer, if you are about to invest a significant sum of money in a property, let a professional open your eyes as to the you are buying. During the pre-purchase phase of evaluation, a bug control expert can detect the presence of wood-destroying pests and a building inspector can provde the details of the structural integrity of the driveway -- all during the cooling off period. Likewise, a full evaluation is a wise investment before a property auction, and before you plunk down you hard-earned money. The cost of the evaluation is minimal in comparison to the cost of the surprise you may find down the road.
