WHEN CAN MAJESTIC HOME INSPECTION CARRY OUT A TARRION HOME INSPECTION FOR MY NEW HOUSE?
Due to Builder's unreasonable time constraints for us to carry out our inspections prior to the closing date we prefer to carry out pre 30 day or pre year end inspections. This will give us ample time to carry out a proper inspection on your property and enable us to place post-it-notes at most defects found throughout the house.
WHY DOES A NEW HOME INSPECTION TAKE LONGER TO COMPLETE THAN A RESALE HOUSE INSPECTION?
To carry out a proper New Home Inspection we place post-it notes at most of the interior defect locations found. This process normally takes an extra few hours to complete.
