Pre Auction Building Inspections Perth WA 6000
The capital of Western Australia, Perth is currently seeing 3 bedroom houses going for a median sales price of $725,000. According to domain.com, houses are expected to sit on the market for an average of 134 days. Plenty of time to make sure all your ducks are in a row, and you can make sure you get your pre purchase, pest and asbestos inspections done before locking down your future dream home.
Perth, 6000, has actually seen a decline in the capital gain expectancy of properties in the past 12 months, according to Property Investment Mag of a whopping -10.53%.
Taking out a loan of $575,000 or roughly 80% of the median property cost (assuming you've played it smart and saved up the other 20%) will still mean your mortgage costs come in at around $3,086 a month on a 30 year loan.
With Perth not having a great year for property, and still having to pay $3,000 a month in repayments, it is definitely a good idea to make sure you get the property checked out by a professional before committing to a home. Pre purchase inspections, as well as pest, termite and asbestos inspections are going to be your best bet at this stage to cover all your bases.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Perth and surrounding areas saw a pretty decent increase in mortgage prices from the 2006 to 2011 period, with an increase in cost of about 70%.
If you're looking to buy your first home in Perth, or any of the surrounding suburbs, make sure that you engage with a licensed builder or building inspector to get an inspection done.
Asbestos, pests, termites and structural defects could further impact mortgage repayment down the track.
When choosing a Building and Pest Inspector be sure to ask them the following questions:
- Do you have professional indemnity and public liability insurance?
- How long have you been inspecting houses in Perth and the surrounding suburbs
- Are you a licensed builder?
- Will you check the roof of the house?
- How will you identify any pest, termite or rotting woods behind the walls?
- Do you know or have any affiliation with the real estate agent you are dealing with on the property being inspected?
If you are not satisfied with the Building Inspectors answers to each of these questions then contact another building and asbestos Inspector in Perth.
