Why Get a Pre-Sale Inspection Before Listing?
Preparing to sell your property can be a stressful time. From tidying up the garden to getting the paperwork in order, there’s plenty to think about. One area that can’t be overlooked is the condition of the home – and that’s where a vendor pest and building inspection comes in.
This inspection is completed before you list your property for sale. It gives you, the seller, a clear picture of any structural or pest-related issues that might arise during a buyer’s due diligence checks. Identifying these issues before hand can help with making an informed decision, such us
- Decide whether to fix them before listing
- Adjust the asking price accordingly
- Provide potential buyers with full transparency
- Avoid last-minute negotiations or cancelled contracts
In a property market like Port Stephens, which is known for its coastal lifestyle, family-friendly suburbs, and growing appeal to Sydney buyers being honest and upfront with this information helps your home stand out and builds trust with buyers.
