The Benefit of Property Inspections.

Jim’s Property Inspections Mandurah have a range of property inspections that we can undertake to help you make a positive purchasing decision.

• Pre-Purchase Building Inspections Mandurah

When you are thinking about buying a house, you know that it is likely to be the most significant financial commitment that you are likely to make in your lifetime. Unfortunately, you cannot always guarantee that the home you fall in love with will be suitable for your family in the long term.

Our pre-purchase inspections give you the confidence to move forward with the purchase – whether that is knowing there will be some defects to rectify, or just as ammunition from which to establish a strong negotiating position on pricing.

During the inspection, we will look at the roof exterior and interior, the house interior and exterior, under the floor (where applicable), other structures like sheds, garages and carports and retaining walls, fencing and drainage. We can inspect pool safety, alarms and detectors, asbestos, termites, and pests – and even look at gas, plumbing and electrical systems.

• Building and Pest Inspection Mandurah

Pests can be a real issue for homeowners. One of the most extensive and expensive pest problems in Australia is termites. They are fast spreading, cause damage to not only wooden structures but also insulation, plaster and even metal.

Trust Jim’s building and pest inspection in Mandurah – fully trained and insured, we can provide you with a thorough termite inspection that not only recognises signs of termite infestation, but also gives you advice and assistance. Because we work in close contact with the Jim’s Termite and Pest Control Division, we can recommend technicians to assist with removal of nests and termites in a safe and hygienic way.

After inspection, our teams can provide a management plan and recommendation on treatment – helping you to recognise areas that are more at risk from infestation so that you can mitigate the risk.

Independent Building Inspector Perth

Buying or building a home is one of the biggest investments that you’re going to make in your life, on a financial and emotional level. Going through the process with confidence, knowing you are making the right choices will make the process a whole lot easier.

Getting in touch with a trusted independent building inspector in Perth is the best way to ensure that you are buying or building your home in the best possible condition. At Jim’s Building Inspections, we carry out a thorough property inspection and give you an independent, unbiased report on any and all damages or issues that we find with the property. We will help you to understand any huge issues such as structural damage or walk you through how to best fix small cosmetic issues or even problems that may still arise. We are happy to give our own recommendations for anything that comes up and we’re also more than willing to supply you with a cost estimate on how much anything will take to fix or avoid.

Why use an independent building inspector?

If you’re buying an already built house or you’re building your own, you may be asking whether it’s worth the extra cost of getting in an independent inspector, particularly if the person you’re buying from has already had their own inspector in. These are just some reasons why getting your own independent building inspector in is so important:

• Under the surface problems: It’s easy to take a walk around your potential new property and be overwhelmed with pride and joy that it could soon be yours. There’s a big bay window, an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in cupboard and the ceilings and floors are in pristine condition. The problems, however, could be a lot more than surface deep and if you don’t know what you are looking for then you might miss some very serious structural issues.
• Human error: At the end of the day, no matter how good your builder is, they are also human and can make mistakes. There is a whole heap of people involved in building or renovating a house and it’s impossible to keep track of each individual’s work. An independent inspector can come in just to ensure that everything is up to standard before you move in and that it is safe for you to do so.
• Protection: There should always be an inspection done before the handover of a property. You wouldn’t buy a car without a mechanic you trust looking at it, would you? An independent building inspector will put your mind at ease that there is nothing wrong with a property, or they will point out an issue before you purchase it, and it becomes your problem to fix.
• Cost efficiency: Yes, it does cost money on top of everything to hire an independent building inspector. However, they could save you a whole heap of cash in the long run. They will be able to pinpoint big problems like asbestos or termite infestations that you may not have noticed. This will then fall to the current owner to rectify before handing the home over to you and potentially saving you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
