Ivanhoe Pre Purchase inspection reports that offer more than peace of mind

Investing in a home can be a daunting endeavor, especially for first-time buyers.

Many quickly realise the home-buying process involves various professionals unfortunately driven by their own financial interests, rather than yours.

Lawyers, conveyancers, and real estate agents primarily prioritise their profits rather than your best interests.

However, building inspectors are solely dedicated to providing an impartial assessment of a property’s condition, often saving you substantial amounts of money. We are committed to delivering honest conclusions and complete transparency in our reports, ensuring you receive the unvarnished truth rather than an inflated sales pitch. Importantly, a building inspector receives their compensation regardless of whether the property is sold, eliminating any incentive to mislead a homebuyer.

Our assessments offer a comprehensive and easily understandable analysis of your property, complete with photographs and the estimated repair cost.

All our building assessments are conducted by licensed and experienced builders with extensive industry knowledge.

If you’re unsure about the type of building inspection you require, please refer to our blog for guidance and informative videos created by our expert building inspectors. These resources will help you grasp the importance of building inspections and the specific type of assessment that suits your needs. We also encourage you to reach out to us directly for additional information at 1300 033 332 or by completing the form on the right-hand side.
