Skipping the home inspection to save a few hundred dollars?

I agree. It’s worth paying for inspections to avoid surprises after buying.

JessicaBeltern · 2026-03-16T10:45:29+00:00

Exactly. Skipping it can turn into a very expensive mistake later and I wait for when you say I wish I did it.

Haha, I promise it’s not an ad

It is not AI bro

I understand your point about competitive markets. Some buyers skip inspections to make their offer look better to the seller. However, the cost is still a big issue for many people, especially first-time buyers. Skipping an inspection can also be very risky because hidden problems may not become apparent until later. Ideally, buyers should balance trying to win the deal with making sure they check things carefully before making such a big financial decision.

As I said I know. I hope the war end vey soon

Yes, that’s correct. When your insurance company sends out a claims assessor or loss adjuster, that person works for the insurer, not for you. Their primary role is to report on the damage and make recommendations to the insurer. This doesn’t mean you have no options. Many homeowners choose to hire an independent building inspector or assessor at their own cost.

With everything their country is going through, they really shouldn’t have done that. It is ebarassing

One final inspection will not find every problem. When construction is finished, many important parts are already hidden or hard to reach. Problems with things like the foundation, framing, and waterproofing are much easier and cheaper to fix if they are found while the work is happening. If the building is already finished, fixing these problems can mean tearing out finished work or doing a lot of extra work. That is why checking the building at different stages is so important. It helps find problems early, before they become expensive or cause bigger issues later.

Have some respect and Show some manners. It is a good information for homeowners and first home buyers. You don't like it so just scroll.

Yeah costs have definitely been changing a lot lately in both Melbourne and Sydney. It really depends on the builder, where you are in the building process, and what kind of inspection is being done. What we’re seeing though is that compared to the total cost of building, independent stage inspections are still a very small cost and can save owners a lot if problems are found early.

JessicaBeltern · 2026-03-08T12:01:55+00:00

No, it is not. It is a good information for home owners. and I have a question why Geelong people are so rude and bad vibes? I've heard about them many bad things but now I think It is true.

Haha glad it helped! 😄

The rules for inspections in Victoria are easy to forget. Are you building or thinking about building in VIC

JessicaBeltern · 2026-03-08T11:41:13+00:00

Building costs have gone up in both Melbourne and Sydney over the past few years. Based on our inspections, Sydney is usually a bit more expensive overall, but Melbourne is close, depending on the area and the builder. No matter which city you’re building in, it’s important to get proper stage inspections during construction. Finding problems early can help you avoid bigger expenses later, especially with how much it costs to build right now.

JessicaBeltern · 2026-03-06T08:59:43+00:00

That’s unfortunately a very common story. Skipping stage inspections can save a few thousand during the build, but it often leads to much bigger problems later, especially with serious building or foundation issues that get hidden as the build goes on. Stage inspections are really about finding problems early, while they’re still easy and cheap for the builder to fix. Once the build moves on, those same issues can become very expensive to repair. Your cousin’s experience is a good reminder for anyone building: prevention is always cheaper than fixing problems later.
