Absolutely yes. A building inspection is essential before purchasing any property in Sydney. Here's why:
We've had clients discover issues that would have cost $50,000+ to repair. The inspection paid for itself 100 times over.
A building inspection examines the physical condition of the specific property you're buying — walls, roof, structure, pests, etc.
A strata report examines the financial and administrative health of the strata scheme — sinking fund balances, pending special levies, building defects, and by-law compliance.
For apartment purchases, we strongly recommend both. A strata report won't tell you if the unit has water damage or termites, and a building inspection won't tell you if the building is about to levy $20,000 per unit for facade repairs.
We offer combined packages — call for details.
You can arrive at the end of the inspection and we can go through my findings together. This gives you the opportunity to see any issues firsthand and ask questions on the spot.
Our reports are detailed and well-photographed, so you'll have a complete picture regardless. If you do attend, we recommend arriving in the final 15-20 minutes of the inspection.
This is exactly why you get an inspection. If we find major issues, you have several options:
We categorise all defects as Major, Moderate, or Minor so you can prioritise your response. Our post-report phone call includes advice on how to proceed.
