Pre-Sale & Pre-Purchase Inspections in Newcastle, NSW

Pre-Sale & Purchase Building Inspection & Reporting

Before you buy a new home, your conveyancer or solicitor will normally recommend that a builder inspect the building for general building and structural defects prior to settlement. This inspection will ensure that any building defects that may adversely affect the safety, amenity, structural integrity of the building, or health of occupants are brought to the notice of the intended purchaser.

In New South Wales, a pre-purchase building inspection must be conducted and reported in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 4349.1 and must be carried out by qualified consultants.

At Inspectrite all our inspectors are TAFE or university-trained builders and construction managers with at least 10 years of building experience and Master Builders Association members. That means that we'll give you appropriate and practical advice on any defects noted and can even help put you in touch with appropriate tradespeople to make any necessary repairs.

Inspections can be easily booked by telephone or online. Following the inspection, your completed reports will be sent via email to ensure a speedy delivery.

We're always happy to talk with you by phone or in person to discuss any identified defects arising from inspections.

Pre-Sale & Purchase Inspections

Getting your home inspected prior to a sale or a home before a purchase is the best way to ensure that the house is in the best possible condition for the sale and that you're aware of any problems that may go against you in a settlement negotiation. It also means that you'll be well informed of the real implications of any defects that are likely to be found by building consultants retained by the purchaser or seller. 

Major & Minor Defects

Inspectrite provides clients with easy-to-read reports that detail the findings of building inspections conducted in accordance with the Australian Standard AS 4349.

The building inspection identifies major defects within the building and some types of minor defects.

Major defects are those that need repair to stop unsafe conditions, loss of use, or further damage to the building. They are most often structural in nature or can relate to weatherproofing or safety issues.

Some types of minor defects are also included within the report. These are generally defects that are not typical for an ordinarily maintained building of similar age and type or any that require special technical skill or expertise to recognise.

Where damage from previous timber pest activity requires repair, it is noted within the report.

All of our inspectors are equipped with thermal imaging and microwave scanning equipment, which is used to supplement the inspection wherever it's useful and practical.
