Independent Property Inspections building inspectors are always available for an onsite discussion about the subject property, the report, your concerns and future plans for the property. Much of their business comes from referrals from past clients, solicitor's, housing and real estate professionals who recognise they have a 'Duty of Care' to refer only suitably qualified building professionals

CONS, Who to be aware of.  Is your Inspector Qualified?

• First you have the expert relative doing the inspection, not qualified, not trained, not insured and rarely put anything in writing, takes no responsibility if things go wrong
• Then you have the "builder" who give verbal reports only, possibly because he is not insured and believes if it's not in writing he can't be held responsible
• We also have the "builder" that does electrical and plumbing inspections while not being a qualified electrician or plumber.
• There are "builders" doing inspections on the side only to generate repair work for themselves.

Sadly some building inspectors are in this business solely to generate renovation and repair work for their own building business. Your chance of getting an independent objective report from these operators is greatly reduced.

Some building inspectors generate most of their work from real estate agents in return for "agent friendly" reports.

Not all building inspectors carry professional indemnity insurance. This could prove costly to you if you need to make a claim for damages or losses resulting from a poorly conducted inspection and report.

Part time or temporary building inspectors may not be concerned about the quality or accuracy of their inspection or reports, or the reputation they develop.

Other building inspectors charge exorbitant fees for a report that may not or barely even meets the Australian Standard

You have too much at stake to entrust a building inspection to any of these.

Testimonial

Dear Leon.

The service I received from your company was exceptionally professional, I was astounded at the level of detail in the report and the prompt service was just amazing. The inspection was done after lunch on Wednesday and I got a full verbal report at 3:15 then I received the written report with 50 something photos by 4:30. I managed to get a reduction in the price by $4,800 so I can get the items you found repaired after I move in next month. If everybody delivered their services like Independent Property Inspections then the world would be a much better place. Thank you.
