Why is a Pre-Sale Property Inspection Essential?

Identify Any
Damage

A pre-sale property inspection identifies both current and potential damage to your property, including leaks and other issues. Early detection of these problems allows for timely repairs, enhancing the property’s appeal and reducing the likelihood of inspection-related surprises for future buyers.

No
Surprises

Allowing buyers to conduct their inspections can lead to discrepancies that may jeopardise the sale. A pre-sale inspection reveals everything upfront, enabling you to address potential problems beforehand. This proactive approach removes surprises, helping both parties to close the deal more efficiently.

Helps You Achieve the Best Market Price

Combining property maintenance with a pristine, inspected condition instils confidence in potential buyers. This confidence can lead to premium offers, quick sales, and even multiple interested buyers. A well-documented inspection report reassures buyers, empowering you to set a higher asking price for your property.

What is Covered in a
Pre-Sale Inspection?

Building Inspection Overview

The inspection is designed to evaluate the overall condition of the property, examining both internal and external building structures. The inspection assesses structural damage and checks for safety compliance across the entire property.

Structural Issues and Safety Risks

Inspectors evaluate the property’s structural elements, including walls and support systems, for issues such as floor subsidence, misalignment, and cracks. Identifying these problems early helps prevent future maintenance issues and ensures the property is safe for buyers.

Interior of the Building

The inspection covers all interior elements of the building, including walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and windows. It checks for cosmetic damage as well as functional issues, such as damp spots, poor insulation, and damaged fixtures.

Roof Space and Under-Floor Areas

Inspectors thoroughly examine often-overlooked areas such as the roof space and under-floor regions for moisture, pest activity, and structural problems. These areas are crucial for the property’s overall safety and energy efficiency.

Termite or Timber Pest Infestation

The inspection includes a search for termite infestations or timber pests that can cause significant damage. Early detection allows for proper treatment, protecting the property’s structure and maintaining its value.

Garage, Carport, and Garden Shed Condition

External facilities, such as garages, carports, and garden sheds, are inspected for safety, functionality, and signs of deterioration. The condition of these structures, including roofs, doors, and floors, affects the property’s value.

Not Included

Our pre-purchase inspection reports are designed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the property’s condition. However, certain areas are not included in the standard inspection:
