What is a Pre-Sale Building Inspection?
A pre-sale building inspection involves a professional inspection of your property before your property goes onto the market. It highlights structural, safety, and pest-related problems, both for sellers and buyers.
Can I use the inspection report to negotiate with buyers?
Yes. A pre-sale report enables you to disclose problems upfront, or use them as a negotiating tool, and can even guard against price drops after a buyer conducts an independent inspection.
What are the most common problems found during a building inspection?
Other common problems are rising dampness, leaks in the roof, plumbing issues, damage caused by pests, and insufficient drainage. Finding these issues early ensures you the time to prepare repairs before you list your Sydney home—leading to fewer surprises.
How long does a pre-sale building inspection take?
The average inspection will last 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on the size and condition of the property. All reports are provided within 24 hours of the initial inspection.
Is a pre-sale building inspection required by law?
No, there is no legal requirement in NSW. However, the recommendations increase transparency, reduce buyer hesitation, and foster smoother negotiations.
Are there any additional costs I should expect?
Costs for specialist inspections (e.g., asbestos, mould, roof) will be extra. We always provide a clear quote upfront with no hidden fees.
