A building inspection is highly recommended to be done long before the auction or before the 5 day cooling off period expires. You will get a good understanding of any hazards or issues the property might have and assist you to negotiate.

 

We offer our building inspection services for pre-purchase and for pre-sale (vendors) in all parts of Sydney and surrounding areas. The building inspection summaries and reports are ready for you to view only 24 hours after inspection and even on the same day if you require.

Building Inspection Reports

 

Our reports on the inspection contain images and a photo summary of things that are notable which enables you to easily digest the info and see potential problems and existing problems to gauge the situation of your property.

 

We will also add a conclusion in the report. The conclusion will show you a general outlook of your property relative to properties that are similar which are in decent condition.

 

The building inspection reports can be availabe on the same day as inspection or it usually only takes 24 hours to produce the report.

 

Info about pre-purchase Building Inspections can be viewed at the NSW Department of Fair Trading website.

 

We recommend property buyers organise a Combined Building and Pest Inspection to give a complete insight into your property. We can offer our Building Inspections and Pest Inspections around the Sydney area, 7 days a week.
