Pre-Purchase Inspections
Prior to committing to purchasing a property it is
advisable to know the true condition of the structures on
that property, site drainage, paving, landscaping and
possible bushfire hazards.
Our Pre-Purchase Property Inspections and Reports cover all
accessible areas of the structures. We provide a quick
reference summary near the beginning of each report. We also
provide, when necessary, technical brochures or information
sheets on particular issues.
The inspections and reports are carried out in accordance
with Australian Standard 4349.1 - 1995, and the Office of
Fair Trading guidelines for building inspections.
These guidelines form the basis of our Quality Assurance and
Management process.
The turn around time for reports is usually within 48 hours
subject to access to the property.
The reports are fully detailed and where deemed necessary
photographs are taken to assist with the description.
The standard inspection and report encompasses the
following:
Internal areas: floors and floor coverings,
doors and frames, windows, walls and linings, ceilings and
linings, woodwork, painting, kitchens, bathrooms, en-suites,
shower recesses, WC's, laundry, cupboards, electrical
installation, plumbing installation, smoke alarms, fire
places.
External areas: doors, windows flashings and
sills, lintels, walls, painting, roofing, skylights vents
flues and chimneys, fascia barge and eaves, valley gutters,

impose levies to carry out major repairs or upgrading.
