Inspection Process

Can I be there during the inspection?

How long does an inspection take?

Inspection time varies with property size and complexity, but most standard residential inspections take about 1 to 2.5 hours on site. 

Pest & Specialist Inspections

Do you do pest inspections?

Yes, we partner with Pest Protect Australia to provide the most thorough pest inspections and pest control services. Find out more here.

Should I include a pest inspection with a building inspection?

We highly recommend it. Pest issues, especially termites, can be costly if overlooked before purchase.

Pre-Purchase & New Builds

When should I book a pre-purchase inspection?

Ideally contact us when you have an accepted offer or prior to auction day. That way you can get all the information you require to proceed with your purchase with confidence or to assist in your negotiations.

Do you inspect newly built homes?

Absolutely. Even new builds can have defects and areas of non-compliance that a professional inspection will uncover.
