Broadbeach building inspections

Broadbeach, the suburb of the Gold Coast and right on the water, sees a median house price of $752,000, relatively conservative given its location and proximity to the beach. The houses in this area spend on average, 58 days on the market, which doesn’t give a prospective buyer much time to act. This means that having all your affairs in order with the bank, and having a good property inspector that can do the job quickly is a good idea.


Broadbeach, 4218, has seen moderate house pricing go up over the past five years, at around 28.9%, according to Investment Property Mag. With 20% down on the median cost of the property, buyers can expect to pay around $740 a week on their mortgage repayments.


Forking out a little over half a weeks repayments initially on a pre purchase inspection can help save you thousands in unforeseen costs relating to property damages or pre-existing faults.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Queensland as a whole has seen mortgage prices skyrocket, anywhere from 50% right up to a 91% increase over the 2006 to 2011 period.

Whether you're looking to sell your house or buy your first unit or apartment, make sure you engage with a licensed builder to come and complete a pre purchase building inspection or a pre sale building inspection to make sure there wont be any hidden damages or fees that can ruin the experience for you.


Asbestos, pests, termites and structural defects could further impact mortgage repayment pressures in the years to come.
