Why You Need a Pre-Auction Building Inspection

Avoid Costly
Surprises

An early inspection before the auction is crucial to avoid unexpected repair costs. Without this evaluation, you risk winning a property with hidden issues, which can lead to significant stress and unforeseen expenses. A detailed inspection report highlights existing problems.

Make Informed Bidding Decisions

A pre-auction inspection provides valuable insight into the property's condition, enabling you to make confident and informed bidding decisions. With this information, you can set a realistic budget that aligns with the property's value, helping you avoid overbidding.

Protect Your
Investment

Preserve your investment by conducting a full pre-auction building inspection. Identifying potential issues, such as structural flaws or hidden damage, allows you to avoid costly repairs down the line. With a clear understanding of the property's condition, you can confidently invest, knowing you're getting value for your money.

What’s Included in Our
Pre-Auction Building Inspections

Outside Drainage

As part of our pre-auction inspection, we assess the property’s drainage systems to ensure water is directed away from the structure. Proper drainage is crucial for maintaining your investment, preventing water damage and foundation issues.

Flooring

We inspect the condition of the flooring throughout the property, checking for unevenness, damage, or wear that may indicate underlying issues such as foundation movement or moisture problems.

Structural Issues and Safety Risks

Our inspection includes a thorough evaluation of the structural components, such as walls, beams, and support columns. We identify safety hazards and weaknesses, ensuring the property is stable and secure before you place a bid.

Interior of the Property

We inspect the interior of the property, including walls, ceilings, and floors, for signs of mould, leaks, or damage. A detailed examination guarantees there are no hidden issues that could affect your decision.

Exterior and Structural Integrity

We meticulously examine the exterior for potential structural issues, such as cracks and signs of subsidence. Assessing the exterior’s integrity is essential for evaluating the property’s long-term stability and value.

Roof Space and Under-Floor Areas

Our inspection covers roof spaces and under-floor areas to detect hidden problems, such as inadequate insulation, water damage, or pest infestations. These areas often conceal significant issues not immediately visible.

Garages, Carports, and Storage Spaces

We assess the structural integrity and safety of garages, carports, and storage areas, checking for leaks, cracks, and signs of deterioration that may affect the value and functionality of these spaces.
