Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a pre-purchase building inspection important?
A pre-purchase inspection protects you from unexpected repair costs by revealing structural issues, safety concerns, and hidden defects. It ensures your investment is informed and secure, especially in Sydney’s diverse housing market.
How long does a pre-purchase building inspection take?
Inspections typically take 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the property’s size and condition. Larger homes or those with more complex features may take longer to assess thoroughly.
Should I be present during the inspection?
You don’t need to be present, but we encourage it. Being there allows you to see issues firsthand and ask questions. Our inspector will also walk you through major findings on-site if available.
How do I choose a reliable building inspector?
Look for inspectors who are licensed, insured, and experienced in your local area. Check reviews, ask for sample reports, and ensure they provide detailed findings not just a checklist.
Can you inspect newly built homes?
Yes. New builds still require thorough inspection to check for construction flaws, incomplete work, or code non-compliance. We offer stage inspections and final handover reviews.
