Pre-Purchase Inspections

Need a pre-purchase inspection?
Pre-purchase building reports are Insight Building Inspections’ specialty.
Generally, a pre-purchase inspection is compulsory in order to borrow money from a bank to purchase a unit, house or commercial building. However, don’t just think of this as a simple checklist item to be ticked off to get the deal done.
This is an important step in making an informed decision about possibly one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. Treating this lightly may see you end up spending more than you should or dealing with issues down the track that should have been addressed before handover.

Ross’s experience enables him to know the difference and present the information in a way that buyers will understand and can act upon.

"Ross was not your usual pool inspector! He was incredibly helpful; he fixed a few things that I would’ve had to get a builder to do and then signed it off. This meant I wasn’t charged for multiple inspections. For a pain free service that won’t cost you the earth, I highly recommend Ross."
"He arrived at short notice to inspect the pool area and issue a compliance certificate. He was extremely thorough and very knowledgeable. His knowledge of property inspections is impressive and I would have no hesitation in recommend him for house or pool inspections."
"Ross is the BEST Building Inspector on the Coast! He recently did an inspection at my house and picked up several things the 'other' building inspectors missed. Thanks to him we can now sort them out before they become major issues."
"Ross recently helped my wife and I with a pre-purchase inspection on a place we were looking at. He is incredibly detailed and thorough and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking at buying a home (or wanting to get their ducks in a row before selling)."
