Snapping up a BARGIN at Auction
Auctions can be a great place to snap up a bargain, but imagine if that bargain ended up costing you thousands of dollars due to unseen pest damage or compromised structural integrity of the building.
When you purchase at auction, the contract is usually unconditional when the gavel falls on the day of sale. Should you find a problem after the auction you have no avenue for recourse.
This is why it’s so important to carry out YOUR due diligence by organising a Pre-Purchase inspection. Investing in property through auction may mean you are buying a property with a sketchy history.
We at Home Inspections for A Better Peace of Mind stick to a strict checklist that will allow you to know for sure whether or not your prospective property has any damage that should concern you.
When carrying out a Pre Auction inspection, our staff DO NOT disclose to the agent whom the inspection is being conducted for. This gives YOU the edge on the Auction sale by knowing the finer details of the property prior to the auction.
Most Real Estate Agents will be more than happy for an inspection to be carried out prior to the auction. Only when full pre-purchase inspections are done are you fully aware of what you are buying prior to committing, and you can use your report in helping to decide whether or not you are prepared to bid for the property.
Should you consider an offer prior to the auction, Your pre-purchase inspection will provide a fuller understanding of the property.
Either way, auction environments are exciting and easy to get carried away in, SO as a buyer – DO Your Due Diligence Before Bidding to BUY
