The Queensland Office of Fair Trading has considered making Building and Pest Inspections mandatory for all home sellers. Buyers should be wary.
You should still have your own Building and Pest Inspection done as there are numerous questions that can be raised from this situation.
Who is the company? Why were they selected? Who referred them? Could they be bias or passive?
Make sure that ‘your contract' is subject to having ‘your own' Building and Pest Inspection done, and not subject to theirs.
Be confident when making your final decision, get your own Building and Pest Inspection done by someone you choose whom is working for you.
