Owning a home in the capital of
Western Australia may be the realization of a dream made possible y dint of
hard work and sacrifices. It would be a
lot prudent to exercise the option intelligently and choose a home that will
actually last as long as claimed. Home buyers generally tend to go many factors
such as façade of the home, neighbourhood, amenities and appearance of the
home. However, one of the most important considerations actually needs to be information
about the structural characteristics or strength of the home. Take a smart
decision to acquire a property that will permit inhabitants to enjoy the home
for a longer period.
Pre-purchase
inspections
Pre-purchase
inspections arm proposed occupants of a building or home with information
on the actual structural strength of the building against the visually seen or
presumed strength of the building. A cursory look at the building will never
offer information about the actual defects or weaknesses in the structure. A
coat of paint is all that is required to hide and camouflage defects. It takes
a trained eye and the right equipment to ferret out information that will
enlighten proposed home owners.
Move in with
reassurance of a safe construction
More often than not occupants of
buildings understand the weaknesses of buildings long after they have taken
possession. It is better to move into a building or home after ascertaining the
actual condition and the expected life of the building. No one would really
want to reside in a home with a very poor threshold to withstand the vagaries
of nature. It is also important to take up residence in a pest free atmosphere.
Woodwork and
the termites’ conundrum
Woodwork is generally preferred in
homes, both for the aesthetics and the functionality. However, timber in
buildings can be prone to termite infestations unseen to the naked eye. A
pre-construction inspection by experienced teams of professionals unearths
information about the existence or threat of termites. As per the ‘Timber Pest
Pre-Purchase Inspection Clause’, prospective buyers are entitled to seek
termination of contract if the seller is unwilling to take remedial measures on
the basis of inspection reports.
