Buying A Property?

Jun 09, 2022

For the past 15 years, the home inspection industry has been growing by leaps and bounds. As the demands of the home buying public and the regulations regarding real estate have evolved, more and more people hire a home inspector when they are involved in a real estate transaction.

In today’s real estate market over 95% of real estate transactions involve a professional Home Inspection. These services improve consumer confidence and lead to an increase in the success rate of home sales.


It is also more common for lenders and insurance companies to request a qualified home inspection report prior to putting a mortgage on a house or insuring it. 


Real Estate Agents are continuing to demand excellence and professionalism from Home Inspectors, and to provide assistance and peace of mind to their home buyers and sellers.

 

Buying a new home can be stressful enough…even when everything turns out to be OK. But what about the hidden aspects of home buying? 


A building inspection from A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections will help you ensure your investment is sound and it will relieve you of any doubts before purchasing your new home.


The prudent purchaser will now get a methamphetamine, “meth” or “P” test done as well as a building inspection. All A Buyers Choice House Inspectors are qualified and trained to conduct meth or P inspections and it makes sense to have this done at the same time as your building inspection.


The cost of remediation of meth or P contamination depends upon the level of contamination and can range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. 


In extreme cases where the property has been used to manufacture methamphetamine ie a P lab the very timber structure of the property may be so contaminated that the only option is to demolish the house.


Local councils have the ability to prevent occupation of a property until decontamination has been done. Book your meth or P test at the same time as your home inspection.


All our inspectors are qualified to test for Meth contamination.
