A building inspection doesn’t just reveal defects — it can also create a powerful opportunity to renegotiate the purchase price. Building Masters’ Property Negotiation Service uses your repair-costed Building Defect Report and decades of real-world negotiation experience to pursue a fairer price on your behalf. You only pay if we succeed, making this a low-risk way to protect your budget and your buying position.
Face to face at a local cafe or in our Private Mobile Office parked outside the house and get the opportunity to ask the inspector questions which matter to you.
Call us any time, even just for a property chat so you won’t miss out on your dream home. We are on your side and here to help you.
We have helped many people avoid buying a ‘lemon’ property with hidden defects. We often also help buyers get a significant price reduction.
The strongest negotiating position comes from irrefutable evidence, not opinion. Because we prepare your Building Defect Report and detailed repair costings, we are uniquely placed to demonstrate the true condition and real cost of the property to the selling agent and vendor. This shifts the conversation from asking for a discount to justifying one — often at a critical moment when the vendor wants the sale to proceed.
Timing and experience are everything in property negotiation. Our senior inspectors have decades of experience dealing directly with real estate agents and understand how negotiations unfold during cooling-off periods and final contract stages. We step in at the point where buyers often feel pressured, allowing you to step back while we manage the process professionally and strategically.
Our negotiation service is designed to align our success with yours. We charge a small percentage of the amount we save you, meaning you only pay when a lower purchase price is secured. This outcome-based approach ensures the service remains focused, fair, and financially worthwhile.
You share the address, timing, and any concerns. We organise the inspection quickly — often within 24–48 hours.
You receive a clear report with photos and practical advice — no jargon, no template padding, no soft conclusions.

We walk you through the results, answer questions, and help you understand your options — including negotiating leverage.
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.

Mike is terrific to deal with and has extensive knowledge and expertise. I have worked professionally as an Estate Agent for close to 25 years and met many building inspectors over that time - but Mike has impressed me the most and was my go to inspector for my own personal property matters.Posted on Google![]()

I was very happy with my dealings with Building Masters Inspections right from when I made the initial phone call to the end report. The inspector was thorough and helpful and the report stated not only any issues but the best way to rectify them. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend BMI to carry out a pre-purchase inspection on a property.Posted on Google![]()

We engaged Mike to do a building and pest inspection report for our new purchase in July 2026. He did a very thorough job, clearly knows his stuff and is very experienced. Extremely good written and verbal communication. Price as quoted. Would use again.Posted on Google![]()

I engaged Building Masters Inspections for a pre-purchase building inspection of an old house. Given the tight time frame, Senior Inspector Mike arranged for the inspection with the vendor's agent expeditiously on the following day. The inspection was comprehensive and practical, and Mike briefed us on the findings in details from the purchaser's perspective immediately after it's done. It gave us confidence in the negotiation with the vendor, which eventually resulted in a good deal. The inspection report will also serve as a good reference in following up on the revealed issues in future. I highly recommend Building Masters Inspections for a building inspection, particularly for a potential buyer of a property.Posted on Google![]()

We had a building inspection done by Building Masters recently, and we couldn’t be happier with their service. Rod was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and reliable, and his thorough inspection actually saved us from making a very costly mistake with a property that looked good at first but had serious issues. Definitely worth it, highly recommend Building Masters.Posted on Google![]()

his was our second time using Building Masters Inspection for a pre-purchase building inspection, and once again they exceeded our expectations. The team is highly experienced, professional, and incredibly thorough in their inspections. Their attention to detail gave us confidence that we had a clear understanding of the property's condition before making such an important decision. What really stood out was how friendly and approachable they were throughout the process. They took the time to explain their findings in plain language, answered all of our questions, and provided practical advice that helped us make an informed choice. The inspection was organised quickly, completed on time, and the report was delivered promptly, which was invaluable given the tight deadlines involved in purchasing a home. Having now used their services twice, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Building Masters Inspection to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and customer-focused pre-purchase building inspection service. Their expertise and outstanding customer service make the home-buying process much less stressful.Posted on Google![]()
