Frequently Asked questions

1.Why have a Building Inspection Perth?

A building inspection, whether an established home or new building inspection, checks the property for any potential structural defects, damp and other potential issues to ensure that it is safe for you and your family to call home.

Having a building inspection makes sense when you consider that you are making such a large investment, a detailed building inspection report can give you confidence and peace of mind that you are making a good investment. It helps uncover any potential problems so you can budget for any repairs needed.

Most people do not have the experience of know how to conduct a full detailed building inspection themselves, so it makes sense to simply include the costs of a building inspection in your purchasing costs. Experience, knowledge and service from someone that has satisfied the Building Commission application process and is fully qualified will ensure you get a thorough and concise inspection.

2. When should a Building Inspection Perth be carried out?

Conventionally, a buyer will include a building inspection as a condition to an offer, however this condition should be carefully written in order to avoid confusion or misunderstanding.

A pre-purchase building inspection condition should state:

  • who pays for the building inspection report (usually the buyer);
  • the required completion date;
  • any criteria, such as an assessment of any structural defects;

In the event of a major structural defect , the pre-purchase inspection condition should offer the seller the option of fixing the problems within a set time frame. If the seller refuses to comply, the buyer should have the option of terminating the contract as per the standard REIWA “AUSTRALIAN STANDARD PREPURCHASE SIGNIFICANT DEFECTS REPORT”

3. What is covered in a Building Inspection Perth

What is included in your inspection will vary depending on the type of inspection you choose i.e. A Basic Pre-purchase Structural Report or Full Pre Purchase Structural Report. We recommend any areas of concern are highlighted to the so that your building inspection can be personalised to suit your individual needs.

Your building inspection report should also be tailored to suit the age of the property. When buying a recently built home for example, it makes sense to have a Full Pre Purchase Structural Report of the property’s fixtures and fittings (including the quality of the cabinet making and tiling) This report covers a room by room assessment as well as the structural report itself.

Naturally, with an older home you would expect a reasonable amount of wear and tear so your primary concern should be with any structural faults that could lead to expensive repairs, like damage to the foundations and not with minor matters like rusty gutters.

A reputable building inspector, ideally a registered builder or architect, will discuss all these issues with you and provides you with peace of mind about your greatest asset.

4. How much does a Building Inspection Perth cost?

The price charged for a building inspection report will vary depending on the type of property, and the report format (particularly the amount of detail).

Indications from industry sources are that the minimum price of a simple, basic report by a registered builder on a standard residential dwelling (4 bedroom, 2 bathroom) is around $500. More detailed reports would normally cost more.

5. Why do I need a Building Inspection Perth?

There are a few good reasons why you should get a building inspection report done before you buy a property:

  1. So you will know in advance what the problems are
  2. So you can get specialist advice about any major problems and how they will affect the property over time
  3. When you consider that your home is your biggest investment most people will ever make, spending $460.00 on a Building Inspection to help save guard your investment makes sense.

Moving can be stressful, so having the peace of mind that you are moving to a property that is structurally sound, safe and with the amount you are paying can help to alleviate some of the stress and worry.
