About pre-purchase building inspection
A pre-purchase building inspection is a visual assessment of the property against the relevant standard, reporting on structural condition, roof, walls, wet areas and safety hazards so you know what you are buying. It is one of the cheapest ways to avoid a costly surprise. Book it during the cooling-off or subject-to-inspection period.
Getting quotes in Gillen
A good inspector will quote pre-purchase building inspection clearly: labour, materials and callout itemised, licence details offered without prompting, and a realistic timeframe for Gillen. If a quote is dramatically below the others, ask what it leaves out. There is usually an answer.
Local knowledge counts
A business may list the Alice Springs as a service area without being available for every Gillen request. Ask about local experience, timing and the full price if the provider responds.
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.
