What's Included In Pre-Purchase Building Inspections?

Your pre-purchase inspection is a comprehensive visual audit to identify major structural defects and safety hazards. We check all accessible areas, including the roof cavity, sub-floor space, and the building’s interior and exterior, against the National Construction Code. Our goal is to give you a clear understanding of the property’s condition in a detailed report with photos.

The visit itself usually takes between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the property’s size and condition. We take the time needed to be thorough, not just to tick a box. Our focus is on accuracy, ensuring nothing is missed that could cost you later.

Absolutely. We strongly encourage you to come along, especially towards the end. It’s a great chance for our inspector to walk you through the key findings in person and answer your questions on the spot. You’ll leave with a much clearer picture of the property’s true condition.

You’ll have your complete digital report in your inbox within 24 hours of the inspection. We know how time-sensitive purchasing property is, especially during a cooling-off period. We’re committed to getting this critical information to you quickly so you’re not left waiting.

While a building inspection focuses on structural integrity, a timber pest inspection targets termites, borers, and fungal decay. We can bundle both services for total peace of mind, giving you a complete picture of the property’s health.
