Building Inspections
Purchasing any property is a huge commitment, and you understandably want to know exactly what you’re getting into before making a decision. In a situation like this, a building inspection can help ensure you make a well-informed decision, whether the property is residential or commercial.
That's where the PropInspect team comes in! We provide our clients with professional building inspections in Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast to identify potential issues with the property. This gives you a clear picture of the property’s condition, helping you feel confident and secure in your decision-making process.
Please note that we now offer pest inspections alongside our building inspections. This way, you can get a full property check and ensure that there is no pest activity in one visit!
What Does A Building Inspection Involve?
A pre-purchase building inspection looks at various areas around the property to ensure everything’s in good shape and there are no hidden surprises. As licensed building inspectors, we will only be looking at the structural and general maintenance aspects of your property, including the following:
Foundations & footings
Walls & ceilings (external & internal)
Retaining walls
Roof (void & exterior)
Floors (inc. sub-floor)
Windows & doors
Presence of asbestos
Gutters & drainpipes
External features, e.g., fences, pathways, etc.
Water leaks (present & signs of past)
Water damage, dampness, & mould
Safety features, e.g., ensuring staircase is built to code, etc.
If you want to have your plumbing or electrical systems inspected before purchasing, we recommend contacting qualified electricians or plumbers for a thorough assessment. We’d be happy to provide recommendations for trusted professionals to assist you if needed.
What Are The Advantages of A Building Inspection?
There’s nothing worse than purchasing your dream home only to uncover major hidden issues that could cost you a fortune! With a building inspection, you can avoid this and many more surprises down the road. In addition to this, there are many more benefits of committing to a pre-purchase building inspection, including:
Helping you make a more informed decision: A property inspection gives you a clear understanding of its condition, helping you decide if it’s the right fit and avoid surprises later.
Ensuring the property’s safety & functionality: An inspection ensures that everything is safe and working properly, giving you peace of mind about the property’s condition.
Gaining leverage for price negotiation: A detailed inspection report may let you negotiate a better price, request repairs, or even back out of the deal if significant issues are found.
