Pre-purchase inspections

About the service
Choose the right checkpoint for the property journey.
An established-home inspection and a new-construction inspection are different checkpoints. Before a purchase, the focus is on visible building issues, accessible areas and—when requested—signs of timber pests or related damage. The aim is to provide useful property information, not legal advice or predictions about hidden areas.
During a build, selected stage inspections allow visible work to be considered before the project moves on. Near the end, a practical completion inspection helps document items for discussion, and a handover inspection provides a final review before possession.
Drysdale inspection enquiries are best made with the full address and the dates that matter to you. For a new home, include the current or upcoming stage; for a purchase, check contractual requirements separately with the professional handling your conveyancing.

FAQs
Common questions.
For advice about the right service for a particular property, call or email Scott.
Do I need separate building and pest bookings?+
They can be requested together. Say that you need a combined inspection and provide the Drysdale address so the scope can be confirmed.
What if some areas cannot be accessed?+
Only safely and reasonably accessible areas can be inspected. Restrictions such as locked, concealed or unsafe areas affect the scope and should be considered when reviewing the findings.
What information is needed for a construction-stage booking?+
Provide the address, the nominated stage, the builder's expected readiness date and the access contact or process you have been given.
Is practical completion the same as taking possession?+
They are different points in the process. A practical completion inspection addresses the near-complete build; a handover inspection is the final review before possession.
