About the service
Understand the property before you commit or move forward.
An inspection gives you a structured view of the visible and accessible parts of a property, rather than relying only on a brief open-home visit. For an established Ocean Grove home, a combined building and pest inspection can bring together observations about building condition, signs of timber pests and related damage.
The right service depends on where you are in the property process. Buyers may need a pre-purchase inspection, while a new build may call for checks at nominated construction stages followed by practical completion or handover. Each inspection has a different purpose, so share the property address, current stage and relevant dates when you enquire.
Reports and findings are most useful when there is time to read them, ask questions and obtain specialist advice where needed. Building access and safety affect what can be inspected, and legal or contract questions should be directed to your conveyancer or legal adviser.
