What is a conveyancer?

Why should I order building and pest reports?

Failing to apply for a building inspection report allows for no recalls on anyone if the house or building you buy is termite-infested. You will not be able to attribute the agent or vendor because you assumed the risk of not having a pest inspection. We also cautions relying on a pest inspection report that was prepared for a third party, even if the dates are very close. A report prepared for somebody else will not allow you a reproach if a problem is found after the sale is finalised.

Why do I need a conveyancer?
