这个步骤被称为结算前检查,是一个至关重要的步骤 - 特别是如果您签署了销售合同后,有人一直住在您的新家,因为这样就更有可能——和当你买它时的房屋不会处于相同状态,它是必须的。
通常,财产结算期限在30到90天之间,因此您不应该认为财产在结算前一周与您交换合同时的情况相同;你应该检查网站。
您应检查该物业是否状况良好,所有垃圾已从现场移走,以及是否已满足任何特殊合同条件。
如果物业的状况比交换合同时更糟糕 - 例如,如果墙上有新洞,破窗或爆水管 - 您可以要求供应商进行相应的维修。
什么时候检查?
每个州都有不同的关于结算前检查的法律。有些人,如维多利亚州,规定买家有权在结算前一周内的任何合理时间检查物业;其他人,如南澳大利亚州,规定买方只有在合同中明确规定销售受制于一个的情况下才有权获得一个。
但是,无论您居住在哪个州,您都应该在结算前一周的“合理时间”进行检查。
在结算前几天最好这样做,以便供应商有时间进行任何必要的维修。
谁可以检查物业?
您应该自己与证人(例如房地产经纪人)进行结算前检查。
您必须在适合供应商的时间提前组织访问。房子还不是你的,所以你不能简单地突然出现。
要检查什么?
你应该检查的事情包括:
灯和电子产品
水暖
热水器
空调和加热器
门把手和锁
家电
窗帘和百叶窗
窗户和玻璃
游泳池和水疗中心过滤
检查害虫
烟雾报警器。
您还应该与您签订销售合同,以便确保该物业包含供应商同意离开的所有物品(包含物),并且不含供应商同意带走的所有物品(除外)。
除此之外,您应该确保物业干净整洁,并且符合销售合同中包含的所有特殊条件。
如果发现问题该怎么办?
如果您发现某些东西被破坏或状况比第一次检查时更糟糕,您应立即将其与您的运输工具一起提升。
他们会尝试将其作为合同的特殊条件进行谈判,这意味着供应商必须在结算前对其进行修复。
如果无法及时修补,可以降低销售价格以支付维修费用。
您可能很想搬进新房子,但最好保持清醒并进行预先安置检查,以确保房产处于与您第一次检查时相同的状态。
Pre-settlement inspection checklist:our complete guide
Known as thepre-settlement inspection, this step is a crucial one – especially if someonehas been living in your new home since you signed the contract of sale, as thismakes it more likely that the home won’t be in the same condition as when youbought it, which it’s required to be.

Often, the propertysettlement period is anywhere between 30 and 90 days, and so you shouldn’tassume that the property is in the same condition in the week leading up tosettlement as when you exchanged contracts; you should inspect the siteinstead.
You should check thatthe property is in good condition, that all rubbish has been removed from site,and that any special contract conditions have been met.
If the property is ina worse condition than when you exchanged contracts – for example, if there’s anew hole in the wall, broken window or burst water pipe – you can ask thevendor to make repairs accordingly.
When to inspect?
Each state hasdifferent laws regarding pre-settlement inspections. Some, like Victoria,stipulate that buyers are entitled to inspect the property at anyreasonable time during the week before settlement; others, like SouthAustralia, stipulate that buyers are only entitled to one if they specificallystated in the contract that the sale was subject to one.
However, whicheverstate you live in, you’ll be expected to carry out this inspection at a “reasonabletime” during the week before settlement.
It’s best to do itseveral days before settlement, too, so that the vendor has time to make anynecessary repairs.
Who can inspect theproperty?
You should conductthe pre-settlement inspection yourself with a witness, such as the real estateagent.
You must organise thevisit in advance at a time that suits the vendor. The house is not yet yoursand so you cannot simply show up unannounced.
What to inspect?
Things you shouldcheck include:
· lights and electronics
· plumbing
· water heaters
· air conditioners and heaters
· door handles and locks
· appliances
· curtains and blinds
· windows and glass
· pool and spa filters
· check for pests
· smoke alarms.
You should also bringthe contract of sale with you, so that you can make sure the property containsall the items the vendor agreed to leave (inclusions) and is free from all theitems the vendor agreed to take away (exclusions).
Apart from that, youshould ensure the property is clean and tidy, and that all special conditionsincluded in the contract of sale have been met.
What should you do ifyou find a problem?
If you find somethingis broken or in a worse condition than it was during the first inspection, youshould raise it with your conveyancer immediately.
They will try tonegotiate it as a special condition on the contract, which means the vendormust fix it before settlement.
If it cannot bepatched up in time, the sale price can be reduced to cover the cost of repairs.
You may be dying tomove into your new house, but it’s best to stay clear-headed and carry out apre-settlement inspection to ensure the property is in the same condition aswhen you first inspected it.
