Frequently asked questions
-
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.
-
Yes, but it’s always better to get the whole report, as this will give you a better picture of the true state of a property.
-
It’s best to exhaustively ask all your questions beforehand. But if you do have follow-up questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
-
It’s not necessary, but it’s better if you’re there to see the condition of the property first hand and have the inspector walk you through any findings. But if your schedule doesn’t allow it, that’s fine. Inspectors will take detailed photos and include them in their reports.

- A structural report — checking the building’s subsidence, faulty plumbing, roof leaks, foundational cracks, and more.
- Drainage reports — looking at any problems with your structure’s drainage systems.
- Roof report — checking your roof for any missing components or leaks.
- Pest damage report — examining the presence of any pests like mice, termites, and so on, and lining out any damage to the property caused by these pests.
- Exterior damages — including damage or problems with your carport, windows, external walls and so on.

While there are no specific laws that require building and pest inspections before buying a home, it’s better to get one. Without it, you could end up buying a home with structural or pest-related problems that will cost you more money in the future.
Discovered issues could also cause health and safety problems. You can them early on and even use the report to negotiate a lower buying price if issues do surface.
