What Does a Pre-Auction Building Inspection Include?

Structural Issues and Safety Risks

A pre-auction inspection identifies significant structural concerns such as foundation cracks, unstable walls, and support beams that might compromise the property’s safety. Our experts examine all visible structural elements to ensure the property meets current building codes and standards.

Roof and Exterior Condition

The roof is one of the most critical components of any building, and a pre-auction inspection ensures it is in good condition. Our inspectors assess the roof’s overall integrity, looking for signs of wear, leaks, or material deterioration.

Plumbing and Electrical Systems

Our inspection covers all key plumbing components, including pipes, water pressure, and drainage, to ensure they’re functioning properly. We also evaluate electrical wiring, outlets, fuse boxes, and safety compliance to prevent potential hazards and costly repairs.

Pest Infestation

A pre-auction building inspection includes a thorough assessment of the property for signs of pests, such as wood rot or termite trails. Our inspectors also check for other infestations like rodents or insects that may cause structural damage or health issues.

Small Defects and Maintenance Needs

We identify minor issues like cracked tiles, peeling paint, or faulty door hardware that might need immediate attention. These minor repairs can be easy to overlook but should be factored into the overall cost of the property.

Garage, Carport, and Other Structures

Additional structures like garages, carports, sheds, and fences are also part of the pre-auction inspection. Our team assesses these structures for stability and overall condition. We check for issues like rust, poor foundation work, or potential safety hazards.

Photos for Easy Reference

Visual documentation is a key part of our inspection process. We include high-resolution photographs of key issues and concerns found during the inspection. These photos provide clear evidence of any defects, structural concerns, or damage to various parts of the property.

What's Not Included

Our pre-auction inspection reports offer a thorough assessment of the property’s condition. Yet, certain areas go beyond the limits of a standard inspection.
