Building inspection costs

When you purchase a home, you have a few days' reflection period. The preliminary purchase agreement also includes conditions precedent, such as a building inspection . You're probably looking for a company specializing in this and have found this page. Building inspections do, of course, incur costs, which are not proportional to the price of the home, but they do offer you more certainty. We recommend reading our customer reviews, which will give you a clear idea of what you can and should expect from a building inspection. While the costs are certainly significant, cheap is expensive!

Are building inspection costs deductible?

In some cases, the costs of a building inspection are tax-deductible. For example, when purchasing a slightly older home, the mortgage lender might require a building inspection. Such an inspection is also mandatory if the property appraisal shows that the costs of deferred maintenance amount to 10% or more of the property's value. In both cases, the costs of the building inspection are deductible. The purchase price of a home is inherently disproportionate to the costs of a building inspection, so whether these costs are deductible or not should really be irrelevant! You don't want any uncertainty or being confronted with unexpectedly high maintenance costs; opt for more certainty and thereby also comply with your due diligence obligation when purchasing a home or your reporting obligation when selling a home.

If you're looking for a company that can perform a building inspection for you at a more affordable price, you'll notice a significant price difference. We recommend carefully researching the differences between the various companies. One company might advertise excluding VAT, but the price will ultimately be 21% higher when you checkout. Another company might state in the small print that it only covers homes up to 250m³, or you might be charged a mileage surcharge, call-out fees, and so on. We've encountered some very unusual situations that ultimately lead to higher prices for you as a client. At Homekeur, we offer a fixed price for homes up to 1000m³, without any small print that could inflate the price. Homekeur clearly communicates the costs of a building inspection , without any hassle afterward.
