Why do you need a Premium Pre-purchase Inspection?
Uncover Hidden Issues Before You Buy
In a competitive market like Brisbane, it's easy to overlook potential problems when viewing a prospective property. But what you don’t see can potentially compromise your future investment. Structural weaknesses, hidden termite damage, and other major defects may be lurking behind freshly painted walls or renovated exteriors.
Ensure Property Safety & Compliance
A licensed pest inspection company will examine the property in line with Australian standards and building codes, offering peace of mind that it meets current regulations. From domestic and commercial construction assessments to roof exterior inspections and under-floor checks, every part of the structure is evaluated.
Negotiate Better
Terms
Having a pre-purchase inspection report puts you in a stronger negotiating position. If any structural issues or pest problems are identified, you can ask the real estate agents to address them before settlement or negotiate a competitive price to cover repair costs.
What Do Our Pre-Purchase Inspection Reports Include?
Structural Issues and Safety Risks
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 Space and Under-Floor Inspection
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 inspections, 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.

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.

We Do Pre-Purchase Inspection For
Single-Storey Homes
For those purchasing a single-storey home, it’s important to get a clear understanding of its condition, including structural issues, potential pest infestations, and any maintenance needs. A pre-purchase building inspection in Brisbane helps uncover hidden safety hazards that might compromise the property’s integrity.
Townhouses
Pre-purchase inspections for townhouses require a keen understanding of the building’s structure and potential issues that could arise from shared walls or complex layouts. Our building inspectors look for major defects, such as foundation issues or cracks in the walls, as well as pest infestations that could spread through the shared structure.
Double-Storey Homes
With double-storey homes, inspecting both levels and ensuring the integrity of roof space and under-floor areas is crucial. Our inspectors will assess both the upper and lower floors for any structural damage, termite damage, or potential safety hazards.
Units and Apartments
Purchasing an apartment or unit in Brisbane demands a specific kind of building and pest inspection due to the unique challenges of high-rise living. Inspecting the roof, common areas, and individual units is essential. Our pre-purchase inspection covers everything from electrical systems to plumbing and the overall structural health of the building.
Office Buildings
When purchasing an office building or a commercial property, it’s important to know if there are any safety hazards, structural damage, or issues that might impact the property’s usability or value. Our licensed building inspectors will conduct a thorough inspection, examining the overall structure, internal systems, and exterior for any signs of damage or required maintenance.

Retail properties require inspections that assess both their commercial functionality and structural integrity. Whether you’re buying a shop, a restaurant, or a storefront, we conduct Brisbane building inspections to ensure that all systems are in working order and that the property is compliant with health and safety regulations.
