Pre-Sale/Pre-Auction Inspection
RESIDENTIAL | COMMERCIAL
Before you sell or auction your home
The presentation of your home or commercial property is a critical element in achieving the best sale price. A potential buyer can unravel a sale if the building inspection fails. Therefore, we advise the seller to engage in a building inspection before listing 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 site inspection, our inspector will call you to summarise the findings and discuss any significant issues or concerns noted during the inspection. This provides instant feed back on the property inspected. It is a critical component of ensuring that reported defects, safety issues and required maintenance issues are clearly understood. This often prompts many questions regarding the property which enables us to clarify and further describe findings and outcomes.
Step 5: Compile Report
Compiling the report involves collating all of the inspection information together and presenting it in a thorough, detailed, yet understanding format. This can take a few hours itself but we believe it is worth the effort. The report clearly identifies minor and major defects including potential safety hazards, structural defects and if requested to do so, timber pest findings and recommendations. The report is sent electronically, usually the night of the inspection.
