Recommendations
Expert advice on how to maximise the value and functionality of your property
We have two levels of inspections available where a Casa team member will attend the property and carry out the inspection, reporting back to you within 48hrs. These pre-purcahse inspections are NOT an alternative to a surveyor, we strongly advise using a surveyor and Casa Building to avoid any nasty surprises.
Inspection Level One
Casa Building Solutions Level 1 Visual Survey is the least detailed survey out of the two available. It provides a basic inspection report along with a general overview of a property’s condition highlighting significant issues but without detailed investigation. This survey is suitable for conventional properties in good condition and are no more than 5 years old. For more comprehensive assessments, higher-level surveys like a Level 2 may be recommended.
Inspection Level Two
Casa Building Solutions Level 2 Visual Survey is a more detailed property survey. It provides a more comprehensive assessment than a Level 1 survey including a thorough inspection of visible and accessible parts of the property. It aims to identify significant issues affecting the property’s value and provides advice for necessary repairs or further investigations. This type of survey is suitable for most residential properties.
How Much Do Inspections Cost?
Don’t take a risk on your investment
Taking a builder or a professional property inspector to assess a property before buying is a smart move for several reasons:
- Identify Structural Issues: Builders can spot hidden structural problems like cracks, foundation issues, or roof damage that might not be obvious to the untrained eye. These issues can be expensive to repair after the purchase.
- Assess Renovation Costs: If you’re considering making changes or improvements, a builder can provide insight into what’s feasible, what’s not, and how much it would cost to make those changes. They can help you gauge whether a property is a good investment or if the costs would outweigh the benefits.
- Assess the Quality of Work: Builders can check the quality of the construction work, materials used, and the overall standard of maintenance. This is especially important in older homes or properties that have been renovated.
- Identifying Damp issues: At Casa we can identify problems with damp using a combination of visual inspection, tools and knowledge of typical problem areas
- Uncover Hidden Problems: Many issues like plumbing, electrical wiring, or hidden leaks aren’t easily visible during a standard viewing. A builder can identify these problems, helping you avoid costly surprises later.
- Provide Negotiation Leverage: If the builder uncovers issues, you can use that information to negotiate a lower price, ask the seller to fix the problems, or get credits to cover repairs.
- Peace of Mind: Having a professional review the property provides peace of mind, knowing that you’re making a well-informed decision before committing to a purchase.
Overall, bringing a builder to assess a property is an investment in ensuring that you’re not only getting the right property but also avoiding potential financial headaches down the road.
