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 Portsmith
A good inspector will quote dilapidation reports clearly: labour, materials and callout itemised, licence details offered without prompting, and a realistic timeframe for Portsmith. If a quote is dramatically below the others, ask what it leaves out. There is usually an answer.

Quick answers
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.
Can I use the report to negotiate?+
Yes. If the report finds significant defects, buyers commonly use it to renegotiate the price, ask the seller to fix issues, or in some cases withdraw within the cooling-off period. An independent report gives you evidence rather than guesswork at the negotiating table.
How much does a building and pest inspection cost?+
A combined pre-purchase building and pest inspection commonly runs $400 to $700 depending on the size and age of the property and your location. It is a small cost against the price of a home and can reveal issues worth many times the fee. Book early so the report fits your cooling-off period.
