Professional Pre-Sale
Inspections

It's a detailed assessment of a property's condition before listing, identifying potential issues and providing a report for vendors.

We have experienced inspectors, follow Australian Standards, and provide accurate, unbiased reports to help prepare properties for sale.

Pre-sale inspections help address issues, increasing property value, reducing time on the market, and attracting buyers.

We inspect all accessible areas, including structural, roof, walls, internal, external, pest infestations and more.

Inspections typically take 1-3 hours, depending on property size and complexity.

We deliver detailed, easy-to-read reports within 24 hours of inspection completion.

Use the report to make repairs or adjustments before listing, ensuring a smoother sales process.

Yes, properties with a pre-sale inspection report often sell faster because buyers have confidence in the condition of the home. It removes uncertainty, reduces the likelihood of last-minute deal collapses, and can encourage unconditional offers.

Yes, sharing the report with potential buyers is encouraged. It demonstrates transparency, builds trust, and can reduce the number of individual buyer inspections needed. Many agents display the report at open homes to attract confident buyers.

Both inspections follow the same Australian Standards and cover the same areas. The key difference is who commissions it. A pre-sale inspection is ordered by the vendor before listing to identify and address issues proactively. A pre-purchase inspection is ordered by the buyer to assess the property before committing to purchase.

It depends on the severity and cost of repairs. Major defects and safety hazards should be addressed as they can significantly deter buyers. Minor cosmetic issues can be disclosed in the report rather than repaired. Your real estate agent can advise on which repairs will provide the best return on investment.

Yes, we offer pest and termite inspections as part of a combined pre-sale package. Identifying and addressing pest issues before listing prevents surprises that could derail a sale and gives buyers additional confidence in the property.

While there is no official expiry date, most buyers and agents consider a report current if it is less than six months old. If your property is on the market for an extended period, you may want to consider a follow-up inspection to keep the report up to date.
