What is a building inspection?
The building
inspection
When you want to buy a house, you as a buyer have a duty to investigate. You are responsible for researching the condition of the house as much as possible. It is therefore important to hire a building inspector to help you inspect and assess the condition of a house. A building inspector has a lot of knowledge about specific construction periods and can make a good assessment of what the defects of a house are. Most houses have hidden defects, due to overdue maintenance.
The purchase
inspection
The purchase inspection is an inspection of the structural condition of a home. The structural inspector calculates the costs needed to rebuild the house to a good condition and then maintain it. The structural report describes all these findings and costs in a clear overview. The purchase inspection is not an appraisal. An appraisal only establishes the market value.
Is a technical inspection mandatory?
No, a building inspection is not mandatory but it is sensible. An architectural inspection prevents you from unexpectedly incurring high renovation costs after the purchase. Common defects such as mold and moisture can cause a lot of extra costs. A structural inspector recognizes the defects and indicates possible solutions and additional costs. An inspection report is also useful when negotiating the price of the house.

Advantage of inspections

An architectural inspector recognizes the defects and gives possible solutions and additional costs. An independent organization is very important here. Even if the selling broker has already carried out an inspection, it is still advisable to have it done yourself.
In addition, an inspection report is useful during the negotiations about the price of the house. In practice, it is therefore more convenient to plan the inspection before signing the purchase contract.

It is normal that the building inspection takes place as soon as the preliminary purchase agreement is signed. Of course it can be done earlier. But be sure that the purchase has not yet been completed. At that time you have the information too late and you can not include it in the negotiations.
