About dilapidation reports
A dilapidation report documents the existing condition of a property, with photos, before neighbouring construction or excavation begins, so any new damage can be attributed fairly. It protects both owners if a dispute arises. This is common before major building works next door.
Getting quotes in Athelstone
For dilapidation reports, ask each inspector two things up front: the all-inclusive price, and how soon they can attend Athelstone. If the job is not urgent, saying so can shave real money off the quote, since operators can slot you into an existing Eastern Suburbs run.
Local knowledge counts
Athelstone sits in the Eastern Suburbs area, which means several inspectors are normally within a short drive. Mention your suburb when you enquire so travel is built into the price from the start rather than appearing on the invoice later.
Quick answers
What does a building inspection cover?+
A pre-purchase building inspection is a visual check of accessible areas covering structural elements, roof, walls, floors, wet areas, and safety hazards, reported against the relevant standard. It does not open up walls or cover items behind finishes. The report notes major defects and areas needing further advice.
Is a pest inspection separate from a building inspection?+
Yes. A timber pest inspection specifically targets termites, borers and timber decay, which a building inspection does not fully cover. Most buyers order a combined building and pest report, which covers both in one visit and is cheaper than booking them separately.
When should I book a building and pest inspection?+
Book it as soon as your offer is accepted so the report is ready within your cooling-off or subject-to-inspection period, which is often only a few business days. Leaving it late can force you to choose between rushing or losing your inspection right.
