What Do Our Pre Sale Building Inspection Report Include?

Structural Issues and Safety Risks

Our comprehensive inspection focuses on identifying any significant structural problems, including foundation cracks, damaged walls, or shifting beams. We also assess the overall stability of the building, ensuring there are no safety risks such as loose railings or compromised load-bearing structures.

Smaller Defects and Maintenance Needs

In addition to major structural concerns, we also identify smaller, yet important, defects that could affect the overall presentation and appeal of your property. These may include issues like chipped paint, worn-out seals, damaged tiles, or leaking taps. Although these may seem minor, they can impact the first impression buyers have of the property.

Termite or Timber Pest Infestation

A key part of our pre-sale inspection is checking for signs of termite or timber pest infestations, which can cause significant structural damage if left undetected. We carefully inspect timber frames, flooring, and other wooden components for any indications of pest activity, such as holes, discolouration, or sawdust.

Garage, Carport, and Garden Shed Condition

Our inspection doesn’t just cover the main house; we also evaluate additional structures like garages, carports, and garden sheds. We assess their structural integrity, including roof condition, door alignment, and the overall condition of walls and foundations, ensuring every part of your property is in good condition.

Steps, Fencing, Paths, and Driveways

External features such as steps, fences, paths, and driveways are often overlooked but are vital to the property’s safety and aesthetic appeal. We carefully check these areas for trip hazards, signs of wear, or damage that could pose safety risks or detract from the overall presentation of the property.

Expert Advice on Repairs and Tradespeople

In addition to identifying issues, we provide expert recommendations for addressing the problems found during our inspection. Whether it’s suggesting simple repairs or recommending trusted tradespeople, our goal is to help you make your property market-ready.

Photos for Easy Reference

To make it easier for you to understand the issues identified during the inspection, we include high-resolution photographs of the affected areas. Photos help both you and potential buyers understand the condition of the property, making it easier to discuss repairs or renovations with contractors or negotiate with buyers during the selling process.
