Spotless Pre Purchase Building and Pest Inspections Canberra
We want you to be able to buy with confidence and have peace of mind when it comes to purchasing a property. A pre-purchase building inspection which includes a termite inspection is a must for this reason.
It’s the biggest investment of your life, you don’t want to buy a dud.
Having a satisfactory pre-purchase building inspection report, completed by a qualified building inspector, should be a condition of your contract.
Our pre-purchase property inspections allow you to make an informed decision about the property and is a smart financial decision as it can save you thousands of dollars in expensive repairs. Following our building inspection report, you can either proceed with buying the property, renegotiate the purchase price, or back out if any major defects are found.
Pre-Purchase Building Inspection
A pre purchase building inspection is a visual appraisal of the condition of a property that identifies existing issues, from minor defects or areas of concern, to major structural defects. However, it is not a warranty against future defects or structural issues.
This inspection is carried out in accordance with the Australian Standard 4349.1
If there are particular parts of the property that you are specifically concerned with, for example, plumbing, electrical or swimming pool etc., you may wish to also engage a specialist in the required field in addition to the pre-purchase building inspection.
What does a building inspection include?
- Interior of the building
- The exterior of the building
- Roof space
- Under-floor space
- Roof exterior (subject to health and safety regulations)
- Garage, carport and garden shed
- Separate laundry or toilet
- Small retaining walls (ie. non-structural)
- Steps, fencing, paths and driveways
Our inspectors recommend that you attend the inspection so that they can show you any areas of concern and answer any questions you may have. However if this is not possible, we are available to answer your queries by phone or email.

Inspect My Home will provide you with a detailed building report following your inspection which will include a description of the property, the materials used in construction, any problems found by your inspector and images of the areas requiring your attention.
You will receive your report via email within 24 hours of your pre purchase house inspection.
Timber Pest Inspections
A timber pest inspection is an essential part of any property transaction, with many regions in Australia providing prime conditions for termites. Repairing termite damage can be costly and can also impact on the safety of the structure if the termite infestation was/is rampant.
The timber pest inspection is a visual inspection of the accessible areas of the property to detect evidence of active termites and/or termite damage. In addition to this, the inspector will also identify conditions that are conducive to termite attack, and whether or not a current termite management system is in place.
Your inspector will check the interior and exterior of the property including accessible roof cavities, roof void and sub-floor areas.
The findings of the inspection will then be noted in your pest report which will be issued via email the following morning, including any recommendations for suitable termite treatments.
Buying A House Without A Pre-Purchase Property Inspection
Have you ever heard the expression “Buyer Beware”? Well, this age-old adage certainly applies to the property market.
Failing to get a professional building and pest inspection from an independent and qualified inspector is akin to playing roulette with what is likely the largest purchase you will make in your life. You don’t want to gamble with such a significant investment, and a pre-purchase inspection is the best way to buy a house with the peace of mind that it’s structurally sound and without any serious (and potentially costly) issues.
A pre-purchase property inspection is one of the most important steps in the property-buying process, and has numerous benefits:
You will be fully informed of the property condition and thus can buy with confidence
Get an idea of the costs you may have to pay to fix any problems
Avoid buying a property with significant structural or safety issues
You may be able to negotiate a better price with the seller based on your inspector’s findings.
