Why you need a pre-purchase or pre-auction building or pest inspection

A pre-purchase or pre-auction building or pest inspection is needed to assess if there is any sign of structural damage, wear or pest infestation within the building you may be considering purchasing. It protects you and the investment you’re considering making in the purchase of residential or commercial property.

Our pre-auction and pre-purchase building inspections involve the following:

• Moisture meters to determine the level of moisture in the building materials, which may indicate rising damp or water leaks.
• Thermal imaging cameras are used to detect the slight temperature variations that termites or other pests give out. Termi-track movement detector can check for movement inside wall cavities or floor spaces. Thermal imaging cameras are also used to detect slight temperature variation to assist with leak detection or air leakage.
• Laser technologies to assess the floors and walls level to check if the building is showing signs of subsiding.
• The inspection will also evaluate visual defects and functional operation of the building’s fixtures.
• Assess structural elements and non-structural elements in the sub-floor areas, external of the buildings, roof space areas and internal of the premises if access is available
• If the roof linings or outer walls are inaccessible, a drone can be used to assess the condition of these elements at an additional cost.
• All Total Inspections’ pest and pre-existing building inspections are carried out as per Australian regulations and standards.
