If you’re planning to sell your home, your to-do list is probably already a mile long. However, there’s one job that’s too important to ignore: having a thorough pest inspection by a Canberra pest control expert. To ensure potential new owners aren’t left with any nasty surprises, here are four key reasons to arrange a pest inspection before selling your home.
#1 Provides peace of mind
Selling your home involves many expenses, from repainting to renovation. However, a pest inspection is the most important expense you will incur. It’s worthwhile because if your inspection comes back clear, you have the assurance of eliminating risk for potential buyers. And, if there is a problem, you will know exactly what needs to be fixed and the time and materials required.
#2 Attracts more potential buyers
Making the buying process as worry-free as possible will encourage more serious buyers. A fantastic way to do this is by producing a report certifying that your home is free of pests. An official report from a qualified pest control expert shows buyers you have nothing to hide, therefore encouraging buyers to place a reasonable offer. A clear pest inspection will save your buyer money and ensure the purchasing process runs smoothly.
#3 Save time and money
Repairing damage caused by pests is an extra expense that home buyers often don’t anticipate. Unfortunately, some buyers will even use the cost of repairs to their advantage when negotiating a price. In other words, buyers may use defects as a reason to get a better deal. However, a thorough pest inspection will identify these flaws in advance. This way, you can have affected areas treated before putting your house up for sale.
#4 Closes the sale faster
Has a potential buyer fallen in love with your property? If so, they’ll likely want to finalise the sale as soon as possible. This is where a detailed pest inspection can help. If they know there are no issues, a buyer will feel confident to place an offer immediately. This will result in a quick, hassle-free sale.
