PS . A recent testimonial: To Whom it may concern,

There are basically 5 reasons why no building report is obtained at all:

1. “Looks OK, why waste my money!!!” 97.7% of homes that we have inspected, 7 years, or older, have concealed defects, not obvious to non-builder types. What this means, is that the repair costs alone, far outweighed our fee to find them in the first place. 85.62% of new homes, from brand new, to 7 years old, had concealed defects, or high risk situations, caused by poor building methods, but also not obvious to the average person. When we ask vendors (home sellers), if they had a building report, when they bought or built their home, the majority of them, with the biggest concealed and expensive problems, regret they had not. Quite frankly, most people don’t really understand how serious some problems can be.

2. “Can’t afford it!!!”The cost of regret is so much higher than a small fee (approx. 0.1% of the purchase price) to have your new home thoroughly and professionally inspected. What I mean by that, is how will you afford to pay for expensive repairs and maintenance, that you have not allowed for in your tight budget? In the current market, your report could easily get you a nice reduction in the purchase price of the house. It’s all how you look at things. Yes you can afford it!!!

3. “It’s a brand new home!!!” The theory is that the Builder has to provide a 7 year structural warranty on the home. This is true, but getting the Builder to come back and fix all the problems is the frustrating and stressful part. The Building Industry works on “The Golden Rule”: He who has the gold ...rules!!! What this means, is that once you pay the Builder all the money (the gold), then you lose all control. 99% of people building or buying a brand new home, do not get a building report.

4. “Agent said I didn’t need one” This may mean 1 of 2 things: Either he/she has a copy of another report, from a previous purchaser, that is no longer interested and he/she can sell you a copy. OR...he/she may be hiding something. For the first matter, any report obtained without the permission of the actual inspector, is a breach of copyright and therefore a criminal act!!! One of our reports was sold 5 times, with all the proceeds going to the agents. I found out when person no.5 had some complaints after buying the home. It turned out that she had a liquid papered and photocopied version leaving out all the major defects!!! Always remember that the agent works for the vendor and so advice from the agent may constitute a conflict of interest!!!

5. “I don’t trust anyone” The current affairs shows, regularly portray horror stories from all industries. More on this later...All the more reason to keep on reading…in particular some of our

On the first of January, 2004, the NSW state government brought in compulsory licensing, of all pre-purchase building inspectors, including weekend “uncle” inspectors, in an attempt to protect new home buyers from grief and anguish. The biggest problem with the new rules is that Professional Indemnity Insurance is not compulsory for the inspectors. What this means, is that you may win a case, but there will be no insurance money to pay for all the hassle and expense if the inspector has no insurance or has a policy that appears to be valid, but in fact may be null and void because of the fine print. ie Insurance is useless if his report does not strictly comply with the Australian Standard. Buyer Beware!!! Which leads me to the next major point:

BIGGEST MISTAKE No.3:

‘WARNING!!! NOT ALL BUILDING INSPECTORS ARE THE SAME’ You have seen the numerous current affairs programs showing dodgy inspectors missing obvious and critical problems, probably because of a “drive-by” inspection. You hear the grief and anguish from people just like you, whose lives have been ruined…all while the inspector with dodgy insurance, runs and tries to hide his face from the cameras. To make it even worse, some inspectors turn up to the job for ten minutes with a blank piece of paper, have no system in place for their inspection and have no-one else to double check their work after they have typed up the report themselves. Their reports are quite often generic, very difficult to read, written vaguely (to cover over their totally inadequate inspection), are confusing, full of jargon, full of legal fine print, with no photos and quite often written to suit a third party that may have happily arranged the report on your behalf (including a kickback!!!) Buyer Beware!!! If that wasn’t enough, the typical inspector is quite often a cranky, unapproachable old builder, with a bad back (ie he doesn’t return your phone calls and can’t and won’t fit in tight roof and sub floor spaces !!!). Because inspectors work practices are not closely regulated, they can make their own rules…quite often at your expense!!! How do we know all this – because nearly every day our customers tell us of their horror stories with others. Please don’t become their next victim... because your solution is so quick and easy...
