Pre-Purchase Building Inspection
Description
A detailed Pre-Purchase Building Inspection is essential to understand the true condition of a property before you bid at auction or submit an offer to purchase. While a property may have good curb appeal and be claimed as structurally sound, freshly painted areas could be hiding rotting frames or flaws that will require expensive repairs. Our experienced building inspectors conduct a thorough visual assessment of all safe and accessible areas in accordance with AS4349.1-2007 to identify significant structural defects, minor defects, and safety hazards. We comprehensively check the interior, roof void, building exterior, subfloor, and roof exterior. Our inspectors watch carefully for homeowner cover-ups and utilize industry-recognized thermal sensing and moisture technology, along with powerful torches and ladders, to detect hidden dampness, leaks, and structural issues. With over 40 years of experience in the building construction, architecture, and home inspection industry, our team provides you with a highly consistent and professional standard of reporting. The resulting comprehensive condition report is written in an easy-to-read format, drawing special attention to areas of concern and including detailed photos and recommendations on the work required to rectify the issues. We guarantee you will receive your report within 24 hours, giving you the vital information needed to ensure the property is safe and sound.
