Pre Settlement Inspection

Before you go to settlement on a new build, you and your builder would “walk through” the property to conduct a final inspection. The walk-through provides an opportunity for you to spot items that need to be corrected or adjusted.

Due to Covid 19 many buyers will not be able to conduct their own inspection. Rapid Reports can provide you with a written Pre Settlement Inspection Report. The main purpose of inspection is to provide the client with objective, independent, and impartial information regarding the condition of the systems and components of the home that are defective and need attention.

The items checked include

  • All paintwork/painted surfaces
  • Kitchen joinery
  • Taps – for function, leaking, water hammer
  • Sinks – for leaking and draining
  • Dishwasher function
  • Ovens, stoves, and kitchen appliances
  • Toilets – for flushing
  • Shower recess for function, drainage, shower screen
  • Ceiling and exhaust fans
  • Air conditioners
  • Hot water service
  • Ducted heaters and heating services
  • Light fixtures, power outlets
  • Doors and door locks
  • Windows and window locks
  • Balcony – handrail, tiling, drainage

The report is a snapshot of the condition of the property on the day of inspection only. A Pre Settlement Inspection Report is not a warranty or an insurance policy against problems developing with the building in the future.
