What does a building inspection include?
A standard building inspection covers the property’s structure, interior and exterior, roofing, subfloor, plumbing, electrical and drainage systems. It checks for signs of damage, wear, safety hazards and structural issues that could affect the property’s integrity or value. Many inspectors also use tools like moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden issues, ensuring a more thorough report.
Why is a building inspection important before buying a house?
A building inspection is one of the smartest steps you can take before purchasing a property. It helps you understand the true condition of the home and identify potential problems, such as leaks, cracks, poor drainage or termite damage, that might not be visible during a viewing. Having this information allows you to negotiate repairs, adjust your offer, or avoid unexpected expenses after settlement.
Can I attend the building inspection?
Yes, attending your inspection is often encouraged. It gives you the chance to ask questions directly, see any issues firsthand, and better understand the condition of the property. A professional inspector will explain their findings in plain language and highlight any areas that might need attention before you buy or sell.
Clarity & Confidence in Every Report
A professional building inspection gives you more than just a checklist — it gives you a clear picture of your property’s true condition. Our inspections identify everything from minor maintenance issues to major structural faults, helping you plan repairs, negotiate with confidence, or walk away from a risky deal.
