Pre-Purchase Building Inspection
Estimated arrival time: Within 24 hours
Description
The decision to purchase a new home is exciting but carries inherent risks. Our pre-purchase building inspection provides a thorough visual assessment of accessible areas of the property to determine its structural integrity and identify any major or minor defects before you make an offer. Conducted by an experienced builder in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007 and the Western Australia Building Act, this inspection covers the interior and exterior of the building, roof space, roof exterior, under-floor space, garage, carport, garden shed, separate laundry or toilet, small retaining walls, steps, fencing, paths, and driveways. The inspector will carefully grade the severity of each defect, which can range from minor issues like leaking plumbing to major structural defects that could potentially cost up to $25,000 to repair. Clients are highly encouraged to attend the inspection to communicate directly with the inspector, request extra attention to specific areas of concern, and view findings firsthand. Within 24 hours of the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive digital report in PDF format containing high-resolution color photographs of all identified defects. Engaging an independent pre-purchase building inspector ensures you have the critical information needed to make a confident and informed decision about the structural viability of the property you are about to purchase.
