Frequently asked questions
-
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.
-
No. You can continue with a purchase without a report created by an accredited building inspector. However, it is not recommended.
-
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.
-
Look for reviews from past clients. You also want to check if they’re licensed and if they have at least a few years of experience.
-
It’s best to provide a fixed date. However, in case of any unforeseen scheduling issues that could impede an inspection, contact us at least 36 hours before the inspection.

-

It helps if the seller can inform the inspector of any issues that they might know about and provide documentation if available. Secure any pets and turn on all utilities for proper inspection.
