The cost of a Pre-Purchase Building Inspection in Perth can vary for several reasons, in much the same way prices vary on the cost of a new TV.
A large feature-packed name brand TV like Samsung or Sony with a 2-year warranty will set you back more when compared to a smaller generic brand like Kogan or a TLC TV with a short 6-month warranty.
The same can be said for costs relating to Pre-Purchase Building Inspections in Perth as, a number of building elements (features), inspector’s experience/qualifications (name brand), and the extent of the inspector’s insurance (warranty) will all dramatically affect the cost of a building inspection.
Below you will find a list of our Pre-Purchase Inspections. and inspection costs.
Structural Pre-Purchase Building Inspection from $350
Our essential, entry-level Structural Pre-purchase inspection satisfies the requirements of the REIWA Australian Standard Major Structural Defects Building Condition. The inspection scope is for Structural Defects to the residential building structure. i.e., footings, floor(s), exterior walls, interior walls, ceiling frame, roof frame and any retaining walls associated with the main residence. We also check for smoke alarms and RCDs.
Structural Plus Pre-Purchase Building Inspection from $450
Our Structural Plus Pre-Purchase inspection is the most popular and has all the inclusions the standard Structural inspection has, but we also check the roof exterior for major defects to identify any potential roof leaks, issues with stormwater drainage and surface water drainage.
Using specialised testing equipment, we also moisture test interior walls adjacent to shower recesses to check for high moisture readings to identify leaking showers, a typical cause of unhealthy mould and damage to surrounding finishes.
Timber Pest (Termite) Pre-Purchase Building Inspection from $220
The Timber Pest Inspection or Termite Inspection is a popular inspection that you will have completed with your Structural Pre-Purchase inspection as you will appreciate knowing if the house you are buying has any timber pest activity and/or damage.
