Building Inspections Australia
Buying a home is one of the largest purchases you will make. It makes sense to do your homework and get an independent building inspector in for a pre-purchase inspection before making your final decision, just like you would get a vehicle checked over by a mechanic before handing over your money. Whether you’re buying a family home or an investment property, a building inspection will ensure you’re making the right choice as a fully-informed buyer.
The Building Inspection Process: What's Involved?
- 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
A detailed Building Inspection or Property Report is then provided to you within 24-48 hours. It’s important to note that the pre-purchase report is not an all-encompassing document dealing with every aspect of the property, and it is not a warranty against further building defects.
Why Get A Building Inspection?
The purpose of a building inspection Australia is to warn you about any significant damage to the building such as structural damage or major defects that could impact on the property’s structural integrity and needs to be carried out by a professional.
