About the service
A pre-purchase inspection gives buyers an independent view of visible conditions before taking the next step. The building inspection considers accessible parts of the home for defects and other issues, while the timber-pest inspection looks for visible evidence of activity and related damage within its scope.
If you are buying in Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula or Colac, share the property address, access contact and the deadline you are working toward. Scott can discuss the scope directly, arrange the inspection and provide the detailed report within 24 hours of the completed inspection.
Before you book
The agreed scope covers relevant visible and accessible areas of the property. Findings may relate to the interior, exterior, roof space, subfloor and site areas where safe access is available.
An inspection is visual and limited to areas that can be safely and reasonably accessed on the day. Locked rooms, stored items, fixed linings, low clearances, unsafe roof or subfloor spaces and concealed services can prevent inspection.
The report distinguishes significant issues from less serious defects so buyers can understand which findings may need prompt attention and which are generally maintenance or finishing items. Further specialist advice may be recommended where the cause or extent cannot be confirmed visually.
The timber-pest component looks for visible signs of activity, damage and conditions that may increase risk in accessible areas. It does not involve opening walls or other destructive investigation.
A clear, detailed report is provided within 24 hours of the completed inspection. Read the whole report, note any questions and contact Scott directly to discuss the recorded findings.
Contact Scott as soon as you have the address. Confirm access with the selling agent, share the auction date or contract deadline, and leave enough time to receive the report, ask questions and seek legal or specialist advice before committing.
