Careful Detailed Inspection
We inspect the building and the site, starting from the perimeter fencing and working inwards, looking for faults and defects that could impact upon your purchase decision and cost money now or in the future. Much cannot be seen, but experience tells us where faults may lie or have been covered up. The inspection is non-destructive
and great care is taken to avoid any damage to the property or disturbance to owners'
effects.
The Onsite Summary
Straight after the inspection you can attend the property for a spoken summary.
If you cannot attend, the inspector will phone you instead.

Some things we can't do ...
Testing equipment such as stoves & airconditioners
Equipment such as stoves, dishwashers, hot water services and airconditioners cannot
be properly tested during a building inspection so you should verify that they all
work to your satisfaction prior to settlement.
Termites & pests
Termite damage or pest infestation observed during the inspection will be noted
in the report, but a building inspection is not a termite or pest inspection. A
termite inspection can be requested at the same time as your building inspection
for an additional fee
