BUILDING REPORT BEFORE YOU BUY BEFORE YOU BID

Building inspections

Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you’ll make. Just as you would have a mechanic inspect a vehicle before purchasing it, it’s wise to hire an independent building inspector for a pre-purchase inspection. Whether you’re buying a family home or an investment property, a building inspection ensures you make a fully informed decision.

Don’t leave such a crucial aspect of property buying to chance. Trust your local Leading Building Inspector to thoroughly examine the property and provide a detailed inspection report. This ensures you can proceed confidently to the next steps without delay.

The Building and Pest Inspection Process: What's Involved?

The building inspection process begins with an inspector arriving at the property to perform a comprehensive examination of all accessible areas. The inspector’s objective is to identify any underlying issues or damage. Generally, the inspection will cover the following areas:

In most cases, a detailed Building Inspection or Property Report is provided to you by the end of the day. It’s important to note that the pre-purchase report is comprehensive but not exhaustive, covering key aspects of the property. It does not serve as a warranty against future building defects.

Why Get A Building and Pest Inspection?

The purpose of a building inspection is to alert you to any significant damage, such as structural issues or major defects, that could impact the integrity of the property. This inspection should always be conducted by a professional. A qualified building inspector possesses the expertise to identify common defects and faults and can provide guidance on their implications.

However, it’s crucial to seek additional advice from relevant professionals like electricians, engineers, plumbers, or carpenters to further evaluate the severity of any defects and estimate repair costs. In severe cases, underlying issues could potentially require substantial investment from the property buyer to rectify.

Attending The Inspection

We recommend that you are present towards the end of the inspection so that your inspector can point out any areas of concern and answer any questions you may have. In conjunction with a standard building inspection we generally recommend carrying out a timber pest inspection (Termites) on the property as well. These often go hand in hand to ensure the property is safe from existing termite pest damage or infestation.

Our experienced inspectors are licensed to perform pre-purchase pest inspections using the latest equipment including thermal imaging technology and moisture meters to detect the presence of termites.

Pre-purchase or Pre-Auction Report

A Pre-purchase Building Inspection Report (or Pre-Auction Building Report prior to auction) is a comprehensive document that addresses structural defects or damage, conditions conducive to structural damage, and any defects in secondary and finishing elements of the property.

The building and pest inspection report will also identify any areas the inspector was unable to access during the inspection. Photographs and Video may be included to highlight defects or areas of concern observed by the inspector. You can view our gallery from previous inspections to see some of our findings.

The Building Inspection Report includes a description of the property and the materials used in its construction in accordance with Australian Standards AS 4349.1. It is typically conducted before purchasing a property and is recommended to be a condition of your contract. This can ensure you are satisfied with the inspection results and can sometimes influence the overall purchase price of the property.
