PROPERTY PURCHASE CONSULTANCY

H & K Ryan's building inspection reports within Sydney are fully descriptive, they show all areas inspected at the inspector's discretion. They also include photographs of defects found and any other problems we may find.

Do, or will you know, if your new home has been built by an "Owner-Builder"? H & K Ryan will as you need to know to prevent you from losing potential value in the future. Owner Builders must provide you with a Home Owners Warranty Certificate when they sell their homes in the required period. BEWARE!

 

An "Owner Builder" does not have the ability to understand the hierarchy nor to assess real issues while constructing nor do they depend on others knowing the Australian Standards, so don't get caught.

Property Purchase Consultancy

02

buying a property

Our professional property consultancy is a thorough search to identify existing and potential problem areas that puts you, the purchaser, in a better negotiating position with the selling Agent.

Most Agents don't like what we find, therefore that is how we know we are doing our job as intended.

Finding problems before you buy a home may allow you to renegotiate the price of the potentially purchased property or have repairs carried out by the vendor, or a price reduction, before the purchase.

Of course, we can offer remedies to any problems we find at all of our property inspections and we will ensure they comply with the NCC-referenced Australian Standards at the time they were constructed.

We will also advise you in the event there are any warranty issues you can call upon.
