Pre-Purchase Inspections before you buy a home are critical, these inspections conducted by industry professionals should form a critical part of your due diligence before buying a property. Having an independent inspector assess the property for issues as well as pest activity can help to give you a true picture of the condition of the home or business you’re looking at.  This will allow you to make an informed decision about going ahead with the purchase, pulling out or negotiating on the price.

It’s recommended that you have a pest pre-purchase inspection carried out prior to making a formal offer (or, if the property is going for auction, before the scheduled date) or during the cooling off period provided after you exchange contracts.  In Queensland, buyers are given a five business day cooling off period and a nominal fee for cancelling the contract.  If you are planning to have a pest inspection carried out during this time, it’s best to plan ahead and book one in sooner rather than later.

building inspections

Unless you’re a fully qualified builder, it’s likely you will miss any hidden defects with the structural integrity of the building. The vendor is obligated by law to disclose certain problems with the property to the agent and to potential buyers, however this should not be relied on solely as it only relates to issues that the vendor is aware of at the time.
All buildings must adhere to the Building Code of Australia and relevant Australian Standards, and an independent pre-purchase building inspection will review a wide range of accessible structural and operational elements of the property, including:

  • All interior rooms
  • The roof void and the exterior, including roof plumbing
  • Crawl spaces and basement areas
  • Space under floors
  • Outside areas, including fencing, steps, balconies, verandahs and decking, driveways and walls
  • Other buildings or structures on the property such as sheds, garages and outdoor toilets
  • The inspector will be looking for any building code violations, damp, wood rot and mould

    issues (which can often be hidden with a new application of paint), drainage problems, safety and fire hazards, structural weaknesses, cracks and other defects.

pest inspections

Pre-purchase pest inspections can make the difference between you buying a property that’s well looked after, with appropriate pest prevention measures in place, or one that’s riddled with creepy crawlies, and is suffering from major pest damage.  Pests such as termites can be almost impossible to detect without specialist equipment and years of experience, so if you think you’ll be able to tell if a building has pests from just a cursory examination, think again.

The pest inspector will look at:

  • The roof of the building, gutters and downpipes, skylights, vents, roof trusses
  • The internal rooms, including flooring, walls, ceilings, built in wardrobes, window and door architraves, cabinetry and skirting boards
  • All wet areas such as the bathroom and laundry
  • Underneath the building, including crawl spaces, under floors, cellars or storage areas, stored timber, under decking or verandahs
  • The exterior of the building, including landscaping, retaining walls and fencing, the soil, trees and tree stumps, garages, workshops and other out buildings

This company actually investigates the problem instead of just spraying your place and leaving. Very HIGH knowledge and experience in what they...read more do. They took the time to investigate the cause, the source of the problem and elimnated it completely which included going through every cupboard, cracks hiding spots the lot. We had a cochroach problem in our apartment for 3 months and we had 4 different companies come out and NONE of them investigated they only sprayed. After we called PestEx, Mr. Phillips was very knowledgeable and experienced eliminating our problem entirely. We also use PestEx in our shop and both Mr Phillips and Marty are EXCELLENT in resolving and maintaining pest problems. HIGHLY RECOMMEND PEST EX. BEST I'VE SEEN IN QUEENSLAND.
