A pre-sale inspection gives you the opportunity to understand the condition of the property before it is examined under the pressure of a sale. You can decide what to repair, what to disclose, what to leave as-is and what information to have ready when buyers start asking questions.

A last-minute building issue can interrupt a campaign, create uncertainty or hand a buyer unexpected negotiating leverage. An independent pre-sale inspection gives you time to understand significant issues before they become part of somebody else’s strategy.
The report is not about making the property look perfect. It is about replacing surprises with information.
Once you know what is there, you can make a deliberate decision: repair an issue before photography and opens; obtain a specialist opinion; gather invoices or permits; disclose a known condition appropriately; or leave the item and price/market the property with your eyes open. The inspection does not decide the sales strategy — it gives you the information to make one.
A vendor-commissioned report should accurately record the condition found within its scope and any access limitations. Prospective buyers may still choose to obtain their own independent inspection and legal advice. The value to the seller is preparation — not pretending due diligence is unnecessary.
Review a sample report so you understand how findings are documented and presented.
Read what buyers say about the time spent onsite, the defects identified, the detail in the reports, the explanations afterwards and the decisions those findings helped them make.
A combined building and pest inspection by Building Inspections Melbourne, pointed out that there were a lot more problems with the property we wanted to buy then what we first realised. It was definitely a small price to pay for getting the team to come out and look over it thoroughly.
“I used Building Inspections Melbourne when I was building, after a friend suggested it was a good idea to have a pre hand over inspection of my new home. I found the guys to be incredibly reliable and professional, and they even found a few things that were able to fixed before we moved in. If I ever build again, I would gladly call them again for sure.”
I had done a walk through of a property that I thought was perfect, and was very keen to head straight to the auction. My wife wanted peace of mind, so she insisted we organise a Pre Auction Inspection. There turned out to be a lot of problems with the property, that would have blown our budget to fix. I won’t hesitate to call the team again before I put my hand up for another property.
“Extremely thorough and professional from start to finish. The inspection report was clear, detailed and easy to understand, and the inspector took the time to explain everything we needed to know. It gave us real confidence in making our decision. Highly recommended.”
It gives you time to understand significant defects before buyers begin their own due diligence, so you can make informed decisions about repairs, disclosure, specialist advice and sale preparation.
Not necessarily. The report provides information. What you repair can depend on severity, sale timing, cost, legal advice and your selling strategy.
A vendor report can provide useful information, but buyers may still choose to commission their own independent inspection and obtain legal advice.
