Hi, I fully believe in getting the building and pest inspection done on a property but what do people do when it is an auction? We are looking in the western suburbs of Brisbane (5km to city) and a lot of properties are being auctioned. We hvae looked at a number of properties lately and I would say half of them hvae had the inspections done by the vendor prior to the property being put on the market. They are then available to anyone who wants them, via the REA.
We are really interested in a property which is being auctioned in 2 weeks. We spoke to the REA and were told we had to do our own inspections. I guess we just ahve to wear it and pay out the money but it seems crazy that a number of people will just be doing the same thing twice.
I guess I was just wondering if there was anythign we could do to encourage REAs to get vendors to pay out for this. Otherwise we are just doing things repeatedly. Does anyone else feel the same?
Thanks Shona
