Leading Building & Pest Inspections

BUILDING INSPECTIONS

By having a pre-purchase building inspection, you can avoid any unexpected surprises and hidden costs associated with repairs or renovations. Furthermore, you will be able to negotiate with the seller from a position of knowledge and potentially save money on the purchase price. In conclusion, a pre-purchase building inspection is an essential step in the property buying process, providing you with peace of mind and financial protection.

PRE-AUCTION REPORT

Be aware of any potential structural issues that may have an impact on a sale before putting the property on the market. Be in a position to carry out any repairs and maintenance that may be required before they become a problem for a sale.

AUCTION REPORTS
HALF PRICE

We know you might be wary of paying for a Pre-Auction Report before you put in the bid, particularly since you may not win. We understand this so if you don’t win the first auction and need a second inspection for another auction property, it will be heavily discounted within 12 months.

WARRANTY
BUILDING INSPECTION

It is imperative to schedule your Leading Warranty Building Inspection as a follow-up after your Building Handover and within the non-structural building defects warranty period.

PRE SETTLEMENT
INSPECTION

The vendor is obligated to ensure the property is in the same condition as agreed upon in the contract, and any discrepancies should be resolved before the settlement date. In summary, a pre-settlement inspection is a critical step in ensuring that you receive the property in the condition you agreed upon in the contract of sale. This can be done at any reasonable time a few days before settlement.

STAGED BUILDING
INSPECTIONS

The Staged Inspection program consists of 5 separate stage inspections:

Base Stage, Frame Stage, Lock-up Stage, Pre-painting Stage, Building handover or (PCI) practical completion inspection.

This is followed by an optional stage 6 inspection:

TIMBER PEST INSPECTION

Pest infestation is a risk that every homeowner faces, with termites, wood borers, and wood rot being the most prevalent timber pests. These insidious creatures can wreak havoc on the structural integrity of your property, leading to significant financial costs and the displacement of you and your family. Moreover, a compromised timber structure poses serious safety concerns that cannot be overlooked. Safeguarding your home against these pests is of utmost importance to ensure the longevity and safety of your property.

DRUG TESTING

Properties contaminated by former meth labs are popping up all across Australia. The chemical residues left behind are toxic and can lead to serious, long-lasting health effects and even death. Don’t be a victim!

TAX DEPRECIATION SCHEDULE

Building depreciation is a natural process that occurs as properties undergo wear and tear over time. Fortunately, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows owners of income-producing properties to claim this depreciation as a tax deduction. To maximize your tax benefits and provide evidence for your tax return, it’s important to obtain a tax depreciation schedule.

STRATA CORP AND AUDITS

If you’re looking at purchasing a home that’s part of a Strata set up, have you thought about getting a Strata corp inspection audit report that could affect the overall value?
