Mal Wright Pest and Building Inspections conducted a Handover Inspection on our new home in Tenambit.
We had ‘ummed and ahhed’ about getting an independent inspection done. The builder said it wasn’t necessary (of course) and others we had asked just didn’t know. We were speaking with our broker about it and he said to definitely get one done and gave us a few names. Mal’s name also came up in our google search as well as in a Facebook question we posted online.
We booked online, giving the supervisor details and Mal’s staff followed up and made sure they could get in to look through the house. We didn’t attend the property at the same time, so just waited to receive our report via email the following day.
The report was fairly straight forward. Minor defects, major defects, safety issues, inside and outside. From what our builder told us, there wasn’t a lot to be fixed. But the report said otherwise. There were quite a few issues so we immediately gave the building company a call and arranged a meeting at the house.
Mal’s report actually saved us money because if we didn’t have these done, we would have had problems down the track and then would have been chasing the company to fix them after we had moved in. If you’re building a new home, we’d highly recommend you get Handover inspection done. And give Mal Wright a call.
