Frequently asked questions
-
Typically, a building and pest inspection report will cover the following 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.
-
It’s best to exhaustively ask all your questions beforehand. But if you do have follow-up questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
