When looking to buy a home or invest in property, knowing the condition of the property your intending to purchase allows you to make an informed decision on possibly the biggest investment of your life! Our premium pre purchase inspection service is designed to give you the added knowledge and understanding of any potential issues allowing you to purchase with greater confidence.

What is the difference between a premium pre-purchase inspection and a pre-purchase structural inspection?

A pre-purchase structural inspection requires property be inspected for just that, structural defects! This must be carried out by a suitably qualified person in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1 Inspection of buildings and the Real Estate Industry of WA (REIWA) pre purchase structural inspection clause. This clause when included as a special condition in your offer and acceptance allows you the opportunity to resolve any potential matters with the seller prior to settlement.

Structural areas inspected;

• footing and slab, referred to as sub floor
• load bearing structural brickwork or framing
• roof framing
• property boundaries including fencing and retaining walls
• potential safety defects

Our premium pre-purchase inspection goes into more detail to identify areas of importance that may not be classed as “structural” yet are of importance for the purchaser to be aware of such as ceiling condition, we do this by separating structural concerns from maintenance or minor defects, this information aims to highlight areas of general wear and tear from areas requiring immediate attention.
