Meticulous Building Inspections

Pre-purchase and pre-sale pest and building inspections are crucial for ensuring a property's integrity and safety. Our comprehensive inspections involve a thorough examination of the building's structure, plumbing, electrical systems and potential pest infestations, such as termites, spiders and rodents. We use advanced tools to identify hidden issues. After the inspection, we’ll provide detailed reports with our findings and recommendations. We also provide:

Home warranty insurance reports
Insurance assessment reports
Building maintenance reports
Defect/dilapidation reports

To prepare for the inspection, ensure all areas of the property are accessible, including basements and crawl spaces. Clear any clutter that may obstruct the inspector's view and address minor repairs beforehand. This preparation helps facilitate a smooth inspection process, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation and peace of mind for buyers and sellers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for in a good building inspector?

Look for qualifications, relevant licensing and genuine industry experience, not just a certificate. A good inspector explains findings in plain language, provides clear photographic evidence and takes time to answer your questions. Local knowledge is also valuable, as it helps identify issues specific to the region's climate and construction styles.
What happens if pests are found during the inspection?

If pests are found during the inspection, we’ll provide a detailed report outlining the type and extent of the infestation. Our team can recommend appropriate treatment options and, if necessary, advise on structural repairs to prevent future issues, ensuring the property remains safe and pest-free.
Are building inspection reports accepted by banks and insurers?

Yes, professionally prepared reports are generally accepted by banks, insurers and legal representatives for purposes such as property finance, insurance claims, and dispute resolution. It's worth confirming the required format or level of detail beforehand, as some institutions have specific reporting requirements.
Should I get a follow-up inspection after repairs are completed?

Yes, a follow-up inspection is a sensible step to confirm that repairs have been carried out properly and to the required standard. This is especially important following a dispute or insurance claim, as it provides independent verification rather than relying solely on a builder's or tradesperson's word.
