What Is a Pre-Purchase Building Inspection?

A pre-purchase building inspection is a thorough assessment of a property before you buy. Our licensed inspectors examine the structure, identify defects, and check for termite activity. The inspection covers everything from roof to foundations, including all visible and accessible areas. You’ll receive a comprehensive report with photos, detailed findings, and recommendations within 24 hours. This helps you negotiate confidently, plan for maintenance, or walk away from a problem property.

Why do you Need Pre-Purchase Building and Pest Inspection?

Uncover Hidden Issues Before
You Buy

Uncover hidden problems before finalising your property purchase with a building and pest inspection. This detailed assessment helps identify structural damage, termite activity, and other potential risks that could lead to costly repairs. By spotting these issues early, you can make confident decisions, negotiate better.

Ensure Property Safety & Compliance

A licensed pest inspection company follows strict Australian standards and building codes to ensure your property’s safety and compliance. Our professional building inspectors thoroughly examine domestic and commercial buildings for major structural defects, pest infestations, and hidden damage.

Negotiate Better
Terms

Having a pre-purchase building inspection report gives you a clear advantage during negotiations. If visible defects, structural issues, or pest problems are detected, you can request that the real estate agents resolve them before settlement, ensuring you make a confident and informed investment decision.

What's Included in Our Pre-Purchase Building Inspection Report?

Structural Assessment

Our inspectors will closely assess the structure of the building, including signs of structural damage, water ingress, and foundation movement. Whether the building is part of a commercial construction project or a residential home, these evaluations help identify risks that may not be visible during a casual viewing.

Roof, Exterior & Drainage

Issues in the roof exterior or under-floor areas can go unnoticed, but they often house signs of moisture damage, leaks, or timber pests. We provide detailed insights into these areas using a thorough inspection approach.

Smaller Defects and Maintenance Needs

Even minor issues like chipped paint or broken fixtures are noted. These may not be major defects, but they still impact the final report and give you clarity on what needs future maintenance.

Termite or Timber Pest Infestation

Our team includes highly experienced pest inspectors who specialise in identifying signs of termite damage and infestations. A separate pest report is generated as part of our building and pest inspection helping you take preventive actions.

Suspected Asbestos & Hazardous Materials

Older buildings may contain hazardous materials, especially asbestos. Our licensed building inspector will conduct a visual inspection for such risks and advise on safe management or removal.

Expert Advice on Tradespeople and Repairs

Our inspection services don’t stop at problem identification. We guide you on the best steps forward, whether it’s hiring trustworthy tradespeople or scheduling repair work. Our team is known for exceptional customer service and completely independent assessments, ensuring unbiased advice.

Photos for Easy Reference

Each detailed report includes high-resolution photos that show identified issues. This helps in understanding the extent of any problem and aids communication with real estate agents or tradespeople.
