Frequently Asked Questions

Generally we get asked

A building inspection is a visual assessment of a property to identify any significant defects, structural issues, safety hazards, or maintenance concerns. It provides you with valuable information to make informed decisions when buying, selling, or managing a property.

Our standard inspections cover all readily accessible areas of the property, including the interior (roof space, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors), exterior (roof, walls, foundations, landscaping), and under-floor space (where accessible). We also assess visible plumbing and electrical components.

The duration of an inspection depends on the size and complexity of the property. Typically, it can range from 1 to 3 hours. We will provide an estimated timeframe when you book your inspection.

While it's not mandatory, we highly encourage you to be present at the end of the inspection. This allows us to walk you through our findings, point out any areas of concern directly, and answer any questions you may have.

You will receive a comprehensive written report, typically within 24-48 hours of the inspection. Our reports are clear, easy to understand, and include photos of any significant issues identified.
