When to arrange an inspection
Contact us when you have a property in mind and know your purchasing timeframe. Include any auction, contract or settlement deadline so inspection availability and report timing can be discussed before booking. Access usually needs to be coordinated with the owner or selling agent.
What the inspection helps you understand
The inspection focuses on accessible areas and visible defects or concerns. The purpose is to document the property condition observed at the visit and explain issues that may warrant attention or further investigation. Areas that cannot be safely accessed, or that are concealed, limit what can be assessed.
Using your building inspection report
The report brings together written findings and photographs so you can review concerns and discuss them with your agent, advisers or relevant trades. A visual inspection cannot establish the condition of every concealed component or guarantee that a property has no defects. Confirm the agreed inspection scope before booking.
Building inspection or building and pest?
A building inspection and a building and pest inspection have different scopes. If pest-related concerns are part of your buying decision, choose the building and pest option in the enquiry form and ask us to confirm the available scope for your property.
Common questions
Can I book before an auction?
Send the auction date with your enquiry. Availability, access and report timing need to be confirmed before you rely on an inspection being completed by that date.
Is a report a repair quotation?
No. Inspection findings describe observed condition. Where repairs or specialist assessment are needed, discuss the work and cost with an appropriate contractor or adviser.
