Pre-Purchase Building Inspection
Description
Gain valuable insight into the structural condition of a property prior to purchase with a comprehensive Pre-Purchase Building Inspection. Before you settle on your new home, let our experienced Registered Builders act as your independent second set of eyes. Whether you simply need to satisfy the REIWA Structural Annexure conditions or desire a more comprehensive assessment with our Structural Plus inspection, we deliver fast, independent reports without the confusing jargon. Our Pre-Purchase Building Inspection includes a thorough assessment of all accessible areas, focusing on the foundations, sub-floor, load-bearing walls, and roof structure of your home. We identify major defects to the structural elements and highlight significant safety hazards. For those opting for the Structural Plus inspection, we also include non-invasive moisture testing of walls behind showers, as well as an inspection of the roof cover, flashings, gutters, and downpipes. Our digital reports are delivered on the same day as the inspection and include clear explanations, expert defect identification, photographs of key findings, and clear recommendations on repairs and required trades. Following the inspection, your inspector will call you to run through the key findings and ensure you understand the report clearly. With over 8,000 inspections completed each year across Greater Perth and WA’s South West, our team brings extensive WA-specific knowledge to help you make an informed decision. We provide unbiased facts and fixed pricing with no hidden fees, ensuring you have a clear understanding of the property’s structural integrity before you proceed to settlement.
