Pre-Sale/Pre-Auction Inspection
RESIDENTIAL HOMES
Before you sell or auction your home
The presentation of your property and home is a critical element in achieving the best possible sale price. A potential buyer can unravel a sale when building inspection fails during a sales campaign. We encourage the vendor or seller to initiate a building inspection from Bloom Inspections prior to listing a property on the market.
When selling or auctioning your home ensure you are aware of all defects before going to market. A pre-sale/pre-auction inspection will identify issues and give you the opportunity to rectify them prior to presenting your home to the market.
Being in control of the sale of your home means knowing the state your property while avoiding any possible surprises that may jeopardise the process. Our inspector will provide you with detailed a pre-sale/pre-auction inspection report listing all areas of concern.
Allow sufficient time to organise a pre-sale/pre-auction building inspection before presenting your home to market. We suggest 3 to 4 weeks prior to advertising your property. This will allow you time to undertake any repairs necessary to rectify issues identified prior to going to market to give you the best possible outcome in the sale of your home.
Don’t let potential buyers find out defects before you do!

Step 3: Inspect Property
The onsite inspection generally takes 2 hours but will vary depending upon the type of inspection service requested and the specific property itself. The scope of the inspection covers the site, it’s buildings interiors and exteriors, roofing, roof voids, subfloors, garages, sheds, pergolas, decking, driveways, paths, surface drainage, fencing and more!
Step 4: Verbal Briefing
At the conclusion of the onsite inspection, our inspector will phone you to summarise actual findings and discuss any significant issues or concerns observed during the inspection. This provides instant, often time critical, feedback and important information to our clients. It provides an opportunity to ask questions and obtain a general understanding of what to expect from the detailed report to follow.
Step 5: Compile Report
Compiling the report involves collating all of the inspection results together and presenting it in a thorough, detailed, yet readable format. This process takes longer than the physical inspection itself, however, we believe this is a critical component of our service and sets us apart form our competitors. The report clearly identifies minor and major defects including potential safety hazards, structural concerns and where requested to do so, a timber pest assessment. The report is sent electronically, in most cases, the evening of the inspection.
