A Pre-Sale Vendor Inspection will serve useful in detecting any structural issues and repairs needed before putting your property on the market. Having a Vendor Report can give you confidence that you have attended to any issues that could potentially affect a speedy sale. The report can be used as an additional marketing tool to assist with the sale, taking away the bargaining power of the purchaser by addressing any nasty surprises. It gives all parties involved in the sale a sense of confidence because everything is laid on the table up front. We will also be available to answer any potential buyer’s questions or concerns. If the purchaser requires a Pre-Purchase Report, then the final report can be transferred into the buyer’s name at a fee of $220 (including GST), which will deem the report a Pre-Purchase Report. By having the report available to provide to the buyer, all parties are aware of the issues. Your agent provides the report to all interested parties, which eliminates delays that hold up the sale. You are not inconvenienced by continual inspections, and your property sells faster. The inspection is carried out in accordance with the Australian Standard AS4349.0 - Inspection of Building – General Requirements. We also suggest all homeowners obtain a Special Purpose Vendor Report every five years to stay on top of any nasty surprises, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in the future.

If you are planning the renovation of an existing house, or your neighbour’s property is being constructed, then a dilapidation report is an absolute must. Often there are disagreements between owners, builders, and neighbours as to whether a particular defect was existing prior to the commencement of construction. Our dilapidation report services involve us thoroughly investigating and photographing the property to provide you with a comprehensive account of the state of the property. This can be an invaluable resource to resolve any disputes down the track, as it constitutes irrefutable evidence of whether any damage was pre-existing or caused by the builder. In some scenarios, the local authority might even enforce a homeowner or developer to obtain a dilapidation report prior to commencing work. Our aim is to provide accurate and reliable advice to protect your investment. Steve’s ability to solve complex building problems in areas such as waterproofing, masonry, and remedial solutions sets us apart from other consultancies. With a multi-disciplined background and over 35 years of experience in residential and commercial construction, Steve is a highly respected Licenced Builder and Building Consultant. His expertise ensures that your dilapidation inspection is thorough, professional, and backed by decades of industry knowledge, giving you complete peace of mind before any nearby construction begins.

Grant was very helpful and accommodating. While looking to exchange contracts on a property he provided over the phone advice with a full report that followed giving suggestions along the way. Good and easy to deal with.
