Selling your property? A pre-sale inspection identifies defects before listing — so you control the narrative, remove re-negotiation risk, and give buyers the confidence to bid strongly at auction.
Most vendors discover defects the hard way — when a buyer's inspector finds them during the cooling-off period and uses them to renegotiate the price, sometimes days before settlement. A pre-sale inspection puts you in control of that process before your property even hits the market.
With a vendor inspection report in hand, you can choose to fix significant defects before listing (adding more than their repair cost to your sale price), disclose them transparently (building buyer trust and reducing the risk of gazumping), or factor them into your pricing strategy from the start.
The result: fewer surprises, stronger buyer confidence, higher auction competition, and a cleaner path to settlement. In Sydney's Inner West, where properties frequently sell at auction, giving buyers confidence is directly correlated with higher hammer prices.
The average price reduction negotiated using a buyer's building report in Sydney's Inner West is $15,000–$60,000 — after the property has already been marketed, open homes held, and auction day done.
At that point, you've lost the leverage, lost the competition, and often lost the buyer entirely if they decide the defects are too significant.
A pre-sale inspection typically costs less than 0.05% of your sale price — but gives you back control of the negotiation before it starts.

Our inspections are thorough and systematic — nothing is glossed over or missed.
We assess what buyers' inspectors will flag — cracked tiles, failed flashings, sagging frames, and blocked gutters — so there are no surprises on their report.
Bearers, joists, piers, and ventilation inspected. Subfloor defects are among the most common findings on buyers' reports and the most impactful on price negotiations.
Rising damp, roof leaks, and waterproofing failures identified and photographed — these are exactly what buyers look for in older Inner West properties.
All internal and external cracking assessed for cause and severity, so you understand what's cosmetic and what buyers might use as a negotiating point.
Visible safety concerns, aged wiring, and plumbing issues noted — buyers' inspectors always flag these, so it's better to know upfront.
Bathroom and laundry waterproofing failures are a very common finding. Identified early, these are inexpensive to fix and have a disproportionate impact on buyer confidence.
We flag any visible timber pest risk or evidence — allowing you to arrange treatment before listing if needed.
Pool barriers, balustrades, handrails and other safety compliance items identified — non-compliance can delay settlement and must be disclosed.
A clear, objective summary of the property's condition — useful for your agent's marketing conversations and as a disclosure tool.
Every finding prioritised by severity — you decide which to fix, which to disclose, and which to factor into your pricing.
We provide indicative repair cost ranges for significant defects, helping you make informed decisions about what's worth fixing before sale.
Your report is formatted and written in the same standard buyers expect — meaning it builds immediate trust when made available in the marketing campaign.
From booking to report — here's exactly what to expect.

We discuss what to fix, what to disclose, and how to position the report in your marketing — helping you get the most from your inspection investment.
"Our agent suggested a vendor inspection and it was the best advice we received. We found and fixed a significant moisture issue in the rear wall for $3,200 before listing — the property sold $47,000 above reserve with multiple bidders. No price chipping at all."
"Had a buyer try to chip us $30,000 at auction using a building report. We were able to show them our vendor report and a rectification invoice showing the issue had already been fixed. They dropped the request immediately. Invaluable."
"Straightforward process. The report gave us and our agent total clarity on the property's condition. We disclosed everything upfront and buyers responded really positively — three unconditional offers before we even reached auction."
