Our Post-Purchase Building Inspections provide you with critical insights about the condition of your property, helping you plan for future maintenance, negotiate post-purchase adjustments, or simply enjoy peace of mind knowing exactly what you’ve bought.

Expert Inspections, Comprehensive Peace of Mind

Our skilled team uses the latest technology to deliver a thorough examination of your home, from structural soundness to systems operation. We identify potential safety hazards and uncover hidden defects to give you a clear picture of your property’s condition.

Our inspections include but are not limited to: 

As Post Purchase Building Inspectors, we meticulously assess the footings and floors for integrity, checking for signs of settlement, cracks, or unevenness that may indicate foundational issues or soil movement.

 

We conduct thorough evaluations of both the external and internal walls, identifying potential structural concerns, moisture penetration, cracking, and other defects that may impact the property's integrity and safety.

Our examination of piers and columns focuses on assessing their structural stability, checking for signs of deterioration, misalignment, or damage that could compromise the building's support system.

In inspecting lintels, we pay close attention to their condition, looking for any evidence of rust, cracking, or sagging that could indicate inadequate support for windows and doors.

We scrutinise sub-floor frames and supports to detect rot, insect damage, improper repairs, or any weaknesses that may affect the durability and safety of the structure.

Our inspections of the roof frame involve a detailed assessment for signs of defect or damage, including truss issues, misalignments, and the condition of bracing, to ensure the roof's structural reliability.

In reviewing the ceiling frame, we search for sagging, detachment from the walls, or other indicators of structural concerns that could pose risks or necessitate repairs.

We evaluate any retaining walls associated with the main residence for signs of movement, cracking, or drainage issues that may lead to future stability problems or require immediate action.

Following our comprehensive inspection, we offer a full over-the-phone debrief, detailing our findings and providing clear, expert advice on any issues discovered, ensuring you are fully informed about the property's condition.
