You are entitled to make it a stipulation in the contract of sale that you will carry out a pre-settlement inspection. This can be done at any reasonable time a few days before settlement.
Leading Building & Pest Inspections can perform a combined pre purchase and pre settlement inspection or a standalone pre settlement inspection. This type of inspection should be considered very important due to vendors having been known to replace their favourite curtains, light fittings, we have even seen the ceiling insulation removed and taken to the vendors’ new home. The insulation was returned after our discovery. Book your inspection today.
