Buying Property

Inspecting The House

Although you can’t test drive the house you’d like to buy, you can do the next best thing and have the house thoroughly inspected before you decide to try to buy it. An inspection done by a professional surveyor can turn up serious defects that need to be addressed before any agreements are finalised. This gives you the chance negotiate with the seller on the repair and payment for any defects, which can result in an offsetting reduction in the final price of the home.
