Comprehensive Property Inspections.

Detailed Inspections for Residential Properties
When buying a new home, it is important to have the property inspected by an expert. A property inspection will help ensure that the home is structurely sound and has no major health and safety issues.
Failure to conduct an inspection can result in unknown major defects that can be expensive to repair. The property's condition is one of the most important factors when buying a new home. Inspecting the property can help you identify any problems with the home before you purchase. Your building inspector will be able to identify major defects and potential future defects, including the ones the owner has tried to cover up for the sale of the property, in addition we are also able to provide you with a verbal guide on the costs involved to repair the major defects found.
The Inspection shall comprise a visual assessment of the property to identify major defects and to form an opinion regarding the general condition of the property at the time of inspection.

Thorough Examination of the Building Structure

1. Inspection of the property exterior: The inspector will start by examining the exterior of the property, including the roof, gutters, downspouts, exterior walls, windows, doors, and any other features. They will look for signs of damage, wear and tear, or any other issues that may impact the structural integrity of the property.
2. Inspection of the property interior: The inspector will then move to the interior of the property, including all rooms, hallways, stairs, and any other areas. They will look for signs of moisture or water damage, cracks or other structural issues, pest infestations, and any other issues that may impact the safety and habitability of the property.
3. Examination of the electrical and plumbing systems: Plumber and Electrician to complete. The inspector will examine the electrical and plumbing systems in the property, including the water supply, drainage, and electrical wiring. They will look for any signs of wear and tear, damage, or potential hazards, such as exposed wiring or leaks.
4. Examination of the heating and cooling systems: AC Technician will complete. The inspector will examine the heating and cooling systems in the property, including any HVAC systems, ductwork, or other components. They will look for signs of damage or wear and tear, and will test the systems to ensure that they are functioning properly.
5. Examination of any additional features: The inspector will also examine any additional features of the property, such as fireplaces, chimneys, or any other unique features that may require attention or maintenance.
6. Inspection report: After the inspection is complete, the inspector will provide a detailed inspection report to the property owner or potential buyer. This report will outline any issues or defects that were identified during the inspection, and may include recommendations for repairs or maintenance.

Comprehensive Reports
Our detailed inspection report will provide a clear understanding of the property's condition, highlighting any issues or concerns that may affect your decision to buy. Armed with this information, you'll be able to confidently negotiate and make informed decisions about your investment. Don't risk buying a property without having it inspected first. Our inspection service is fair priced considering the time spent onsite to complete a thorough inspection.
Some common property inspection issues include:

1. Asbestos: Many older homes in Sydney may contain asbestos, which can be dangerous if improperly handled. It is important to have a professional inspect the property for asbestos before purchasing or renovating.
2. Structural issues: Sydney has experienced its fair share of extreme weather conditions in recent years, which can cause damage to the structural integrity of buildings. Buyers should look for signs of foundation issues, cracks in walls or floors, and other structural damage.
3. Pest infestations: Termites and other pests can cause significant damage to a property, and it may not always be immediately apparent during an inspection. Buyers should look for signs of pest activity, such as droppings, wood shavings, or mud tubes.
4. Plumbing and electrical issues: Older homes may have outdated systems that need repair or replacement. Buyers should have a professional inspect these systems to ensure they are in good working order.
5. Site Drainage: Poor storm water drainage is the lead cause for foundation and subsidence issues, causing major structural issues to the home's structure.

Pre-existing Prepurchase Reports
So you found a home you wish to purchase, and the real estate has provided you a copy of a building inspection completed by the owner. Great, you don't need to arrange your own!
Be aware of this tactic. The fact is an inspector will need to be more thorough when they are providing inspections for the owner or real estate. If it's the real estate inspector and they provide a heavily detailed report with defects the real estate will not refer him again and the inspector loses their flow of work. If it's for the owner and the report is bad they will not use it and potentially be quite angry with the inspector as they paid good money.
Another fun fact is the inspector only has liability to the person he has done the inspection for. Others who rely on the report that was not directly completed do so at their own risk! The inspector has No liability for any missed defects.
If we had a dollar for the number of times the seller's inspection said no major issues were found and we then completed our inspection and have found pages of major defects! In a lot of situations it actually almost seemed like no inspection was actually completed by the seller's inspector. It is actually scary!
In short, rely on something other than real-estate building inspections and arrange your own. Its just not worth saving the cost of an inspection to risk the potential of major costs in repairs!
