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.

1. What makes Building Masters Inspections different from other inspectors?

Unlike many inspectors in the pre-purchase industry, our team is made up solely of senior, qualified builders with decades of real, on-the-tools experience. We are fully independent, do not work with selling agents, and never provide “soft reports.” Our only responsibility is to give you honest, clear advice that protects your interests.

Yes. All BMI reports are written in plain, everyday language with photos and clear explanations. We avoid jargon and template filler, and we talk you through the findings so you know exactly what matters — and what doesn’t.

We understand buyers are often under tight auction or contract timelines. We can usually inspect within 24–48 hours, and most reports are delivered the same day or next day. In urgent cases, we also offer same-day verbal feedback after the inspection.
