Pre-Settlement Inspection
Our Pre-Settlement Inspection is identical to a Pre-Handover inspection, with the exception that Pre-Handover is for homes that you have had a builder build on your land, whereas Pre-Settlement is for off-the-plan purchases. This stage is relevant for any type of purchase, such as a single or double storey house, a unit or even a townhouse.
During this inspection with your builder, it is your responsibility to identify all of the defects and quality issues throughout your new home, which is difficult for home-owners without extensive building knowledge of the standards, and what to look for… To make it harder still, building supervisors have these handover inspections almost weekly, and know how to re-direct your attention away from issues, and keep you away from areas they know defects of quality issues exist.
