Don't sign anything until you know exactly what you're buying. Our licensed inspector delivers a thorough, plain-English report on every accessible area of the property — within 24 hours of inspection.
A pre-purchase building inspection is the most important due diligence step any property buyer can take. It's an independent, professional assessment of a property's condition — identifying defects, safety hazards, and maintenance issues before you commit to one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.
In Sydney's Inner West, where properties are predominantly older — Victorian terraces, federation bungalows, inter-war homes — the potential for hidden defects is significant. Issues like rising damp, sagging roof frames, timber pest activity, and failing subfloor structures are common findings that can cost tens of thousands to rectify.
Our reports are compliant with Australian Standard AS 4349.1 and written in plain English — not technical jargon. We also call you after every inspection to walk through our findings and help you understand exactly what they mean for your purchase decision.
In Sydney's Inner West, properties regularly sell for $1.5M–$3M+. A building inspection costs a fraction of 1% of that — yet buyers frequently skip it to avoid losing momentum before auction.
Our clients regularly use inspection findings to negotiate price reductions of $20,000–$80,000 — or to walk away from a property that would have become a money pit.
The inspection cost pays for itself many times over. The question isn't whether you can afford one — it's whether you can afford not to have one.

Our inspections are thorough and systematic — nothing is glossed over or missed.
Tiles, cladding, gutters, fascia, downpipes, flashings, and — where accessible — the roof framing and structural condition.
Bearers, joists, posts, piers, and any signs of moisture, fungal decay, movement, or timber pest activity in the subfloor space.
All rooms inspected for cracking patterns, water staining, damp, mould, and signs of structural movement or previous repairs.
Brick, render, weatherboard, and cladding assessed for cracks, deterioration, moisture penetration, and structural movement.
Timber and concrete floors checked for movement, deflection, cracking, bouncing, and signs of subfloor issues.
Frames, glazing, seals, and operation assessed — sticking or out-of-square doors and windows can indicate structural movement.
Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries inspected for waterproofing failures, tile cracking, silicone deterioration, and drainage issues.
We note visible safety concerns, aged wiring types (e.g. knob-and-tube, aluminium), and plumbing materials or issues visible during inspection.
Grading, surface drainage, downpipe connections, and any signs of water pooling or penetration around the property.
Any garages, sheds, pergolas, and outbuildings included in the inspection where accessible.
Handrail heights, balustrade openings, pool barriers, and other safety items assessed against current standards.
Every defect rated by severity — major structural, significant, minor maintenance — so you know exactly what needs immediate attention.

"Incredibly thorough inspection of our Newtown terrace. Found roof structure issues and rising damp we never would have spotted. Used the report to negotiate $15,000 off the purchase price. Worth every cent."
"Squeezed us in at 24 hours' notice before auction. The report was in our inbox by 6pm the same day, and the follow-up call explaining everything was genuinely more helpful than anything our solicitor told us."
"As a first home buyer I was nervous about the whole process. The inspector took the time to explain everything in plain English. I felt completely informed and confident going into exchange."
