Building and Pest Inspection in Darwin

1. FOOTINGS ARE EXCLUDED FROM A BUILDING INSPECTION in darwin

This is what you call the structure on the soil. Footings help the foundation, the structure on which the whole building sits on, transfer loads from the weight from walls and columns.

2. LAYOUT AND SIZES OF ROOMS

Review your property sale posting because this information should be reflected there. Pre-purchase inspectors will not check if the furniture you own will fit in the rooms. Ideally, before you hire your property inspectors, you should have already decided if you will keep or let go of your old furniture.

3. PLUMBING, DRAINAGE AND GAS FITTING

A standard home inspection in Darwin is generally a visual inspection. Checking the plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting of the property you are planning to buy entails an additional examination.

4. AIR CONDITIONING

Moving in to a property with poorly maintained air conditioning may result in various problems. You may experience discomfort, presence of bad odours from bio-films and microbial off-gassing, and building-related illnesses. You may also encounter higher running costs if the unit that came with your property is not functioning properly.

5. HOME APPLIANCES

There are properties that come with built-in appliances when they are sold. This can include an air conditioner, dishwasher, rangehood, oven, or a ducted vacuum. A building inspector will not specifically check if these appliances are working or not. It is best to look into these appliances yourself, especially if they are included in the property’s selling price.

6. OTHER HOME APPLIANCES

This includes alarm systems, CCTV cameras, intercom systems, fire and smoke detectors, and even the television reception. None of these items will be covered in the inspection. Similar to the home appliances mentioned above, these should be personally checked. This way, you can negotiate for a lower price if these items are not working.

7. FIREPLACES, SWIMMING POOLS, AND OTHER RELATED EQUIPMENT

Pool filters, saunas, chimneys, etc. are not covered in a standard home and termite inspections in Darwin. The reason behind this is that these are not common property areas. These places will only be inspected once you’ve requested for a special-purpose inspection.  At EBI, we do pool & spa certification for those looking to have this done.

8. HEALTH RISKS AND OVERALL BUILDING SAFETY ISSUES

A standard house pest and home condition assessment will not check if toxins or other hazardous materials are present in the property. It will also not check the building’s surroundings and the land where it is situated for these hazards or if the property is prone to landslide, flooding, or erosion. This type of inspection will not review the property’s compliance to any building regulation. It is recommended that you research about these concerns before participating in a negotiation for the property.
