A pre-sale property inspection is a proactive and comprehensive building and pest assessment conducted before you list your home on the market.

Our trade-qualified builders thoroughly evaluate your property to identify any structural defects, safety hazards, minor maintenance issues, and visual signs of timber pest activity before prospective buyers discover them. This detailed appraisal leaves nothing to chance, allowing you the opportunity to either repair the identified issues prior to listing or price the property accordingly. The inspection findings are documented in an easy-to-read, comprehensive report featuring colour photographs, delivered within 24 hours. Ultimately, a pre-sale inspection empowers you with complete transparency, helping to facilitate a smoother, quicker sale process and enabling you to secure the best possible price for your property without the stress of last-minute surprises.

A dilapidation report is an essential, highly detailed visual documentation service that records the exact condition of a structure before any demolition, excavation, or major construction works commence in close proximity. When heavy construction or earthworks occur nearby, there is always a risk that vibrations or ground movement could cause unintended structural damage to neighbouring properties. This comprehensive report meticulously takes note of the existing condition of the building, highlighting any pre-existing cracks, structural defects, or areas of wear and tear before the adjacent work begins. By establishing a clear, objective baseline of the property's state, the dilapidation report serves as a vital protective measure for property owners. If any new damage to the building occurs during or after the nearby construction, the building owner possesses concrete evidence to prove that the damage was a direct result of the construction activities carried out, protecting them from unfair claims or disputes. Conducted by Dedant’s highly experienced and licensed building inspectors—who specialise in dilapidation reporting and possess decades of construction industry knowledge—this service provides peace of mind and legal safeguarding. The findings are compiled into an easy-to-read report featuring clear colour photographs, ensuring you have the thorough documentation required to protect your valuable asset.

Asbestos testing is a critical safety service designed to identify the presence of hazardous asbestos-containing materials within a property. Because homes built prior to 1990 are highly likely to contain asbestos in various building materials, visual identification alone is never sufficient; the presence of asbestos can only be definitively confirmed by taking physical samples and sending them away for professional laboratory testing. This service is absolutely essential before undertaking any renovations, demolition work, or invasive maintenance, as disturbing hidden asbestos can release harmful fibres into the air, posing severe health risks to your family, occupants, and tradespeople. If you are concerned about possible asbestos in your property, having professional lab testing done is the only way to be completely sure and ensure full compliance with safety regulations. At Dedant Building and Pest Inspections, we make the process highly convenient by offering asbestos testing that can be seamlessly organised at the same time as your standard pre-purchase building and pest inspection. By identifying these hidden dangers early, our comprehensive asbestos testing service provides you with the crucial information needed to safely manage or remove the materials, ensuring a secure environment and complete peace of mind for your property investment.
