Pest and Building Inspections For Your Peace of Mind

Sydney's real estate market is undeniably vibrant and diverse, offering a wide range of residential and commercial properties for homeowners and investors alike. However, this does offer unique challenges when it comes to ensuring the structural integrity of a property.

Pre-purchase home inspections are a crucial step that safeguards both homeowners and potential buyers alike. It allows you to plan for maintenance, allocate budgets, and make informed decisions about your real estate assets.

Uncover Hidden Issues

Even the most beautiful properties can hide structural and pest-related problems that are not immediately visible. A professional pre-purchase inspection and detailed report by our qualified building inspectors helps reveal any issues that could potentially cost you thousands in repairs down the road.

Negotiating Power

A comprehensive property inspection report gives you valuable negotiating power. These findings can be used to request repairs, negotiate purchase price, and setting confident expectations for both vendors, solicitors and buyers.

Licensed Builders For Expert Insight

Unlike most other inspection companies, our team comprises licensed builders and building inspectors with a deep understanding of construction and building standards. Their expertise allows us to identify existing and potential issues that others might miss, ensuring a thorough evaluation of your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

What common problems do building and pest inspections uncover?

Building inspections commonly reveal issues such as:
  • Structural issues, including cracks or movement in concrete slabs or foundations, bowing or sagging walls, and damaged load-bearing beams
  • Water damage and moisture, indicated by stains, warping, musty odours, and rot
  • Pest infestations and termite damage, where termites and other pests can cause significant structural damage
  • Poor workmanship, which can lead to early failure of components and structural instability
  • Roof problems, such as leaks, missing shingles, and structural weaknesses

Should I Be Present at a Building and Pest Inspection?

While not required, attending the inspection can be highly beneficial. It allows you to ask questions in real-time and gain a deeper understanding of the property’s condition. Your attendance options include:
  • Full attendance for a detailed overview of findings in real time
  • Partial attendance to discuss key findings with your inspector
  • If you can’t attend, someone else can ask questions and relay information.
  • BeSafe provides detailed reports with images and expert recommendations if you prefer to review findings later.

How long does a typical inspection take, and when should I schedule one?

A typical pre purchase building inspection process in Sydney usually takes between 2 to 3 hours to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the property. This gives our qualified inspectors the time to thoroughly assess the property to identify both major and minor defects. We recommend scheduling an inspection as early as possible in your property buying or selling process.

What specific areas of a property do you inspect for pests and structural issues?

Our comprehensive inspection covers all accessible areas of the property. For pest inspections, we thoroughly examine common trouble spots such as crawl spaces, attics, basements, walls, and the entire exterior. When it comes to structural issues, we assess the foundation, roofing, walls, floors, plumbing, electrical systems, and more. All BeSafe inspections meet and comply with the Australian legislation and standards, specifically standard 4349.1.

How much does a building inspection cost in Sydney?

Our pricing for pre-purchase inspection reports varies depending on the type and size of the property.

For example, BeSafe Property Inspections charges:

  • $395 for a unit inspection (without a pest inspection)
  • $525 for a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home
  • Up to $730 for a 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom property due to the more extensive evaluation required

Adding a pest inspection increases the cost - an additional $30 applies for a unit inspection.

However, to get a precise quote for your specific needs, please contact our team directly.

When Will I receive my report?

You can typically expect to receive your detailed inspection report within 24 to 48 hours after the inspection is completed. We understand the importance of timely information, especially in real estate transactions, and strive to deliver your building report promptly to aid in your decision-making process.
