When you’re moving into a brand new house, the last thing you want to be dealing with is repairing items that the tradesmen have missed or, worse, seen and tried to conceal.
A pre-handover new home inspection allows you to get any defects in the building work seen to before the builder hands over the keys, making it easier and more convenient to get everything fixed prior to you and your family moving in. Our inspectors will examine every element of your new home to make sure it is safe and feels as brand new as it is.
In a pre-handover new home inspection, we will inspect the following items:
- Boundary Area
- Driveways
- Paths
- Outbuildings
- Fencing
- Built-up garden areas
- Sub Floor Area
- Sub-floor ventilation
- Decay or warning signs of decay, especially under the bathrooms,
- laundries and kitchens of the house
- Piers and footings
- Termite caps
- Roof Cavity
- Roof frame
- Hazards such as unprotected wiring
- Sarking and insulation
- Interior
- Internal walls
- Plasterwork
- Floors
- Doors
- Windows
- Bathrooms
- Laundries
- Kitchens
- Drainage Pipes
- Water leakage
