Protect Yourself with a Pre-Offer Home Inspection
Feeling pressure to make a subject-free offer on a home? You’re not alone. Victoria’s limited housing stock and high in-migration rates creates cut-throat competition for homes even during slow markets. The result is more people making unconditional offers in the hope of winning the bid. But home buying shouldn’t be a poker game. The financial risks are just too high to skip a home inspection. To help buyers cope with a hot market, we’ve developed the Pre-Offer Home Inspection. Unlike most companies, this is NOT a partial home inspection — it is the same comprehensive inspection that we provide for pre-purchase buyers. The difference is that we give you a $50 credit towards your next inspection should you lose your bid or choose not to make an offer.
