A pre-purchase building inspection is an essential step before buying a new home, ensuring you make the right decision and avoid potentially devastating financial risks.

This critical service determines the structural integrity of the property and identifies both major and minor defects, including severe structural issues or leaking plumbing that could cost up to $25,000 to repair. The comprehensive assessment covers all accessible areas of the site, including the building's interior and exterior, roof space, roof exterior (subject to health and safety regulations), under-floor space, garages, carports, garden sheds, separate laundries or toilets, small non-structural retaining walls, steps, fencing, paths, and driveways. Carried out in strict accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007 and the Victoria Building Act, the inspection provides a clear grading of each defect's severity. Clients are encouraged to be present during the inspection, allowing David to communicate findings in real-time and address any specific concerns.

Pre-purchase Building Inspections

Resicert’s pre-listing and pre-purchase building inspections take the guesswork out of determining exactly how sound the property you want to buy or list really is. Whether you are buying a new home, selling an old one, or seeking a valuation on your investment property, our comprehensive property inspection report will give you complete peace of mind before you proceed. Our detailed digital reports reveal all major interior and exterior structural defects, minor problems, and safety hazards. We also provide clear recommendations on how to fix the property so it aligns with acceptable Australian building standards. We will uncover the hidden wear-and-tear aspects of a building that most people simply do not see, ranging from cracked foundations to rotting timber in the walls and roof beams. Because many Melbourne buildings lie on clay beds that move over time due to drought and other climatic conditions, our inspections test the stability of the foundations and locate any structural defects affecting the state of the property. Our inspection services could turn what looks like a renovator’s nightmare into merely a few repair jobs before you move in. All inspections are carried out by licensed, experienced, and ISO 9001 quality certified building inspectors who hold full professional indemnity and public liability insurance. We check the exterior, interior, sub floor, roof space, and the surrounds of the property up to 35 metres. You will receive a verbal debriefing by phone immediately after the inspection, and your highly detailed, easy-to-read digital report—accompanied by photos—is usually available on the same day, with a guaranteed 24-hour delivery. We also back our services with a 100% money-back satisfaction guarantee.

Building Assessment / Insurance Report

Fixed $200inc. GST

When addressing property damage or concerns, obtaining an independent, unbiased report from professionals is essential. An independent report ensures a neutral, evidence-based evaluation of your property’s condition, free from external influences like those from insurance companies. This impartiality guarantees an accurate assessment. Insurance companies often provide their own assessments, which might be influenced by their interests. By securing your own professional report, you ensure the findings and recommendations are truly reflective of your property’s condition, which can be advantageous during claim negotiations or disputes. Many insurance policies cover the cost of independent reports. By commissioning a thorough, professional assessment, you may have this expense reimbursed by your insurer, making it a cost-effective solution. Peter, the director of our company, has extensive experience working with insurance companies. He understands what insurers look for in a report and can tailor the findings to meet these expectations. Peter is adept at interpreting Product Disclosure Statements (PDS) and can produce concise, relevant reports designed for insurance assessors. We offer preliminary estimates, Scopes of Work (SOW), and recommendations on damage at no additional charge. These services provide an initial understanding of the damage and outline potential remediation steps before more detailed assessments. By opting for our independent report, you gain unbiased insights and detailed information, with the added benefit of potential insurance reimbursement for related assessments.

Our certified and insured building inspectors carry out highly detailed pre-purchase house inspections and pre-purchase building inspections strictly in accordance with Australian Standard AS 4349.1. It is incredibly important to get a comprehensive pre-purchase building inspection done before you commit to buying a property. Many prospective buyers do not think about getting a pre-purchase building inspection because they fear it will slow down the buying process; however, a pre-purchase house inspection is absolutely essential for a number of key reasons. Primarily, it helps to accurately identify hidden structural issues within the building and assists buyers with budgeting for future repair costs. Furthermore, our building inspectors are trained to determine any underlying electrical and plumbing problems, as well as to identify any illegal or unapproved building work previously done on the property. In addition to structural and compliance checks, the inspection actively looks for environmental factors contributing to the development and growth of timber pests. By uncovering these critical defects before settlement, our pre-purchase building inspections ultimately save you and your family from potential severe economic and emotional losses. We provide full, comprehensive reports delivered within 24 hours to ensure you have the expert advice needed to make an informed property investment.
