Preparing Vacant Homes for Inspections
Are ya prepped and ready to let potential buyers or renters have a gander at your vacant property? Not so fast! To inspire confidence in potential buyers or lessees, the importance of having a bang-up inspection cannot be overstated. 'Cause let's face it, folks–you never get a second chance to make a first impression!
A Little Something on Building Inspections
Building inspections can sound daunting, broken-down as a comprehensive review of your property to analyse its structure and safety. This concept often gets our heads spinning, thinking: what to repair? Or, where to start cleaning? Well, no worries, cobber, because Next Home Australia is here to lend a hand.
"Believe us when we say, a well-prepared property for an inspection can make a world of a difference when it comes to sealing the deal."
The Must Do's Before the Grand Inspection
Alright, let's jump straight into the nitty-gritty of it all. Here is a list of what you should try and tick off your list to ace that property inspection:
- Clean and Tidy: Clean the dust off those windows, vacuum the carpets and polish the floors – anything less than spick and span won't do the trick,
- Snail's Pace: Make any necessary slow repairs,
- Fix Those Leaks: No one appreciates a surprise drip on the head,
- Launder the Linen: Ensure all curtains, carpets and other floor coverings are spiffy,
- Garden-A-La-Mode: 'Cause a lush, healthy garden is always inviting.
Tackling The Dreaded D-I-Y
You'd prefer to roll up your sleeves and do it yourself? Great! But just keep this in mind: It ain't about making it look pretty; it's about ensuring it's up to the snuff according to Australian Standards. Spend a bit of time brushing through Standards Australia or QBCC's Standards and Tolerance Guide to know what you should aim for.
