If your home is more than 10 years old and you’re going to market without a pre-sale building inspection, you could be putting your sale price at serious risk.
In Wonthaggi, most buyers will conduct their own building inspection before going unconditional. And when major issues are uncovered late — structural movement, roofing problems, drainage issues, subfloor moisture — the conversation changes quickly.
That’s when negotiations start heading south.
It’s not about minor cosmetic items. It’s about the big-ticket findings that give buyers grounds to:
Renegotiate the purchase price
Request costly repairs
Or walk away entirely
And once a contract is under pressure, your leverage is reduced.
A pre-sale building inspection isn’t about perfection. It’s about preparation.
If there is a major issue:
You can fix it properly before buyers see it
You can obtain quotes and factor it into pricing
You can disclose it transparently and remove uncertainty
You can avoid last-minute renegotiations
Surprises during a buyer’s inspection almost always cost more than addressing the issue upfront.
Our job is to protect your sale price from day one.
That means anticipating what could derail a deal — not reacting once it happens.
If you’re thinking about selling in Wonthaggi and your home is over 10 years old, a pre-sale inspection is one of the smartest moves you can make.
