Do you own or are you buying a rental?

Do you own or are you buying a rental?

If so, you really should have the property checked for Methamphetamine contamination before you buy and periodically during a tenancy. It makes good financial sense to have your rental checked for Meth (P) at the start of a tenancy and at the end of a tenancy - which will be the start of the next tenancy.


Have it written into your tenancy agreement which will be signed by the tenant. This alone will put off applicants for a rental who intend to use or worse manufacture methamphetamine at your rental.


De-contamination costs can be huge and in cases of extreme contamination demolition of the property is the only option. Check your property insurance policy as it may exclude Meth contamination. 

 

All A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspectors are trained and qualified to test for Methamphetamine.


What about that second hand car you are thinking of buying? Meth's users could have contaminated it too! The level of contamination in such a small, closed space such as a car can be very high.



Don’t risk you or your families health, have an A Buyers Choice Inspector check it for you.
