Professional Pre-Purchase House
Inspections

Our inspection reports are comprehensive and cover a range of items including, but not limited to: major defects, minor defects, safety hazards, structural defects, PDF and cloud-based user-friendly reports, with high-resolution zoomable photos and expert recommendations.

The pricing depends on property size, location, and inspection scope. Our pricing begins at $400 AUD, and we provide exact quotes upon request tailored to your specific property requirements.

Our pre-purchase inspection reports are typically completed within 24 hours after the inspection is conducted, and we will send it to you via email and text message link.

Yes, all our inspectors are fully licensed and insured. Our meticulous selection process ensures we only work with qualified inspectors who have extensive experience aligned with pre-purchase inspection requirements.

You are welcome to attend the inspection. However, we recommend allowing the inspector to work independently for thoroughness and efficiency. This ensures nothing is missed during the inspection process.

We provide detailed reports outlining all issues discovered during the inspection and recommend appropriate next steps. This information empowers you to make informed decisions about your purchase.

Our inspectors remain available to discuss your concerns and provide clarification about findings. We are committed to ensuring you fully understand the condition of the property you are considering.

Yes, our reports can be used for negotiation with vendors or real estate agents to inform your purchasing decisions. Many buyers successfully use our findings to negotiate a fair price.

You can contact us directly via phone or complete our online booking form. We will respond promptly to arrange an inspection at a time that suits you.

Clients should arrange inspection dates directly with agents. However, we will liaise with the agent on your behalf if needed to coordinate access to the property.

Yes, we offer pest and termite inspections using the latest technology. These can be combined with your pre-purchase inspection for a comprehensive assessment of the property.

Owner Inspections provides pre-purchase house inspections across major metropolitan areas in Australia including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and surrounding regions. Contact us to confirm availability in your area.

Older homes are more likely to have structural issues, outdated wiring, asbestos-containing materials, plumbing problems, and pest damage. A pre-purchase inspection is especially valuable for older properties as it uncovers these hidden risks before you commit to the purchase.

A building inspection focuses on structural defects, safety hazards, and maintenance issues throughout the property. A pest inspection specifically looks for evidence of timber pests such as termites, borers, and wood decay fungi. Both can be booked together as a combined building and pest inspection for complete coverage.

Yes, we use thermal imaging cameras as part of our standard inspection process. Thermal imaging helps detect moisture issues, insulation gaps, electrical hotspots, and pest activity that are not visible to the naked eye, providing a more thorough assessment of the property.

Yes, we recommend booking a pre-purchase inspection before the auction date. Since auction purchases are typically unconditional, it is critical to know the true condition of the property beforehand. Contact us as early as possible so we can arrange access with the agent before auction day.

Properties do not pass or fail an inspection. Instead, you receive a detailed report outlining all defects and their severity. You can then decide whether to proceed with the purchase, negotiate a lower price, request repairs before settlement, or walk away from the deal.

Yes, our reports are professionally prepared and widely accepted by solicitors, conveyancers, real estate agents, and financial institutions. They provide documented evidence that can support your legal and financial decision-making process.

A standard pre-purchase inspection covers all accessible areas but does not include specialist assessments such as asbestos testing, soil testing, surveying, or engineering reports. We can arrange these additional services separately if required based on our inspection findings.

We recommend booking as soon as possible after your offer is accepted or before auction day. We can often accommodate same-day or next-day bookings depending on availability. Early booking ensures you have enough time to review the report and make informed decisions within your cooling-off period.
