Comprehensive Building & Pest Inspection

The easiest and most comprehensive way to check everything at once.

For most people, buying or selling a home can be pretty overwhelming and confusing. There’s an endless list of things to check and comply with, and if you get it wrong, it can cost you a fortune.

Our comprehensive building inspections provide buyers with a complete picture of the pre-purchase state of a property, allowing buyers to make an informed purchase.

For sellers, you may also benefit from having a pre-sale inspection done so you can provide potential buyers with the answers to any concerns upfront, making it easier to sell your property, and remove the need for conditional contracts of sale.

Once we’ve completed all of the inspections you’ll receive a detailed report, including photographs to fully document the condition of the property. We also outline possible solutions to any problems to enable you to comfortably decide on your purchase options

What does the Structural, Major maintenance & Safety inspection include?

Every job we do is tailored to your needs, but most inspections include, at minimum a structural, building maintenance, plumbing, safety and asbestos overview. Watch the video below for details:

Structural Inspection

The structural inspection involves careful review and appraisal of the structural condition of the home.

Our structural inspections exceed the requirements of Australian Standard 4349.1 (2007)

Safety Compliance Inspection

The number one priority is to keep your family safe, which is why a safety inspection is a must.
Our safety inspection includes but is not limited to:

  • Residual Current Devices (RCD)
  • Smoke Alarms

Asbestos Inspection

One in three Australian homes built before 1990 are likely to contain asbestos. If you are purchasing a home built before 1990 it is important to check for asbestos.

Why would you buy property without knowing the full picture?

There are a lot of things to do when buying a new home. From finance to the logistics of a move, it sometimes feels like the list will never end. To save you time we’ve combined five important elements in to one handy comprehensive inspection package. These combined inspections provide buyers with a complete picture of the pre-purchase state of a property, allowing you to make an informed purchase.  These inspections are becoming more popular with buyers prior to putting in an offer.

Sellers also benefit from having a pre-sale inspection done so they can provide potential buyers with the answers to any concerns upfront, and remove the need for conditional contracts of sale.

All properties age and deteriorate over time but sometimes the workmanship or materials used in the build are substandard and can lead to unexpected repairs. Our qualified building inspector does a thorough site check to determine potential problem areas and suggests a plan for fixing them.
