Pre-Purchase Property Inspections
Whether to purchase a property is a huge decision and knowing about the condition of the property before you make that final decision especially if finances are involved, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Problems such as movement over time, or other structural issues, could result in unexpected costs, all of which can be avoided with a professional building inspection. Not many purchasers have the knowledge, experience or time to inspect property. That’s where a professional building inspection gives you the information you need to know if the property is sound or has any major or minor defects.Then, with this information you can make your important property buying decisions with more confidence.Our property inspections are completed in accordance with Australian Standard 4349.1, comprehensively assessing all the building components & describing the existing conditions. If you have any particular concerns or queries about the property let us know and we investigate these for you at the time of the inspection.

Ian was an absolute professional and offered a competitive price. As he is a registered builder he was able to do a more thorough check of property than a general inspector and this was so important as I was worried about the house having safety issues not just cosmetic. Turned up on time and was very thorough. Highly recommend this company.
Ian from Sold Start Property Inspections was very through and he went extra to do a very fine comprehensive report. He also followed up and was available to walk through his report or any other query.
I compared three companies before choosing Ian. Ian proved his the best. I found he is very patient , efficient and professional. I will certainly recommend him to other friends.
