Pre-Purchase Property Inspections
Upper Hunter Property Inspections specialize in residential Pre-Purchase Pest & Building Inspections. We provide detailed reports within a few hours of the inspection. Pre-Purchase Pest & Building Inspections are essential for identifying underlying issues, building defects, and timber pest issues before purchasing a property.
Infra-red thermal imaging is used during our inspections. In our trained hands this can identify water leaks, electrical hot spots, pest issues and more. We do not charge extra for this service as we believe it should be standard as part of every thorough inspection.
What is involved in our Pre-Purchase Pest & Building Inspections?
A typical inspection takes between 1 to 2 hours to complete at the property. We make our way through roof cavities, under subfloor areas, through detached sheds, and any other areas associated with the property. Our detailed reports are written by the inspector immediately after completing the inspection to ensure the property is fresh in the inspectors mind, this process can take another 2 to 3 hours to complete. Our reports are highly detailed with a lot of information & colour photos, and are generally between 50 and 60 pages depending on the number of issues or defects identified, and the complexity of the property. Once the report is completed and proof read, it is then issued directly to your email as a pdf file for easy review.
