Pre-Purchase Building Inspections

An independent, builder's-eye check before you commit to a home.

Pre-purchase building inspection by RB Thomas

Buying a home is the biggest purchase most people ever make. A pre-purchase building inspection — a builder's report — gives you an independent, expert read on the property before you commit, so you go in with your eyes open.

What we check

We carry out a non-invasive inspection of the property — the exterior, interior, subfloor and roof spaces, and the site and drainage. You get a clear written report with photos, explaining any issues, how urgent they are, and what they could cost to fix.

Why a builder's eye matters

As working builders, we can tell the difference between a quick cosmetic patch and a serious structural or weathertightness problem — and we give you a realistic idea of what putting it right would involve. That's the difference between negotiating confidently and walking into a money pit.
