Pre-Purchase Building Inspection in Brisbane
Residential Properties • Commercial Properties
A pre-purchase building inspection is an assessment of a building's condition conducted by a qualified inspector before you commit to buying. The inspection takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours and covers everything from faulty roofs to rising damp and cracked walls — and generally includes information on whether these faults can be repaired.
A combined pre-purchase and pest inspection can be completed at the same time and is advisable on most homes, given the extensive damage termites and other pests can cause.
