We recommend that you book a building and pest inspection at least a week before you need it for your finance approval. The inspection itself will only take 60 to 90 minutes, but your inspector will need some time to get the report fully and properly done.

In Victoria, it’s common for the buyer to pay for the building inspection. It’s part of your due diligence as you purchase new property. However, in some cases, a seller will provide a report to prospective buyers.

Vendor-supplied inspection reports are not the most trustworthy option. It’s always better to get your own inspector and have them produce a report for you.
