Pre-Purchase Building Inspection

This inspection is done before a property is purchased. It identifies any existing or potential issues that might not be visible to the untrained eye, such as structural defects, pest infestations, and moisture-related problems.

Pre-Sale Building Inspection

Like a pre-purchase inspection, property sellers conduct this inspection to address issues before listing their property for sale, ensuring transparency and potentially enhancing its marketability.

New Construction Inspection

These inspections occur during construction to monitor compliance with building codes and standards, ensuring the property is built safely and satisfactorily.

Dilapidation Inspection

This type of inspection is often carried out before construction or development occurs on adjacent properties to assess and document the condition of neighbouring properties. It helps prevent disputes by providing a baseline for any potential damage claims.

Our building inspection services cover all areas of the property, including the foundation, roof, walls, electrical and plumbing systems, and any other potential areas of concern. We use the latest tools and equipment to ensure accurate and comprehensive inspections.

Negotiating a Sydney Property Purchase

Before a potential buyer makes a bid and decides to enter a negotiation, it is important to conduct a physical inspection of the property. Describing a house’s attributes can be challenging, and homes with similar features may differ significantly in overall condition. At Clear View Property Inspections, we understand the significance of thorough property inspections in the negotiation process. Our goal is to offer detailed reports that identify potential issues or concerns, empowering you to make informed decisions and negotiate effectively for your property purchase.

Sydney housing market

The Sydney region, Australia’s property inspection market, has experienced significant fluctuations and challenges in recent years. One of the main factors influencing the property inspection market in Sydney is the high property price. In Sydney, expensive property, relative to potential earnings in rent, can be explained, at least in part, by sustained market exuberance that has produced a bubble in the housing market since early 2014. Request a consultation from your building inspector. Contact us. 

Our inspections also encompass an assessment of whether the property complies with relevant building regulations and standards.

Common Sydney Property Inspection Issues

Common issues found during property inspections in Sydney include structural problems like cracks in walls or foundations, environmental concerns related to extreme weather events and the presence of asbestos or lead-based paint, safety hazards such as faulty wiring and toxic materials, maintenance and upkeep issues like peeling paint and overgrown gardens, and code compliance violations. The high demand for inner-city housing is driven by population growth, urbanization, changes in government policies related to housing and investment, as well as shifts in the overall economic climate.

Termite, Water and Foundation Inspection

Property Inspection Issues in Sydney

Here are the top 3 issues that we find time and time again:

Termite Damage

Termite damage is a common issue faced by properties in Sydney. It is estimated that one in four properties in Sydney has been affected by termites at some point. Our inspectors are trained to detect signs of termite activity and damage, ensuring you know of potential issues before purchasing. Termites can unknowingly harbour themselves within your home. A serious infestation can ruin an entire house and cost thousands of dollars to fix. It’s important to stay on top of any termites.

Water Leaks

Water leaks are another common problem in Sydney properties. Heavy rainfall and humidity can contribute to water leaks, leading to mould growth, structural damage, and costly repairs. Our inspectors are experienced in identifying water leaks and assessing their severity. This allows you to address any necessary repairs or negotiate the price accordingly. Leaks found in the roof or windows are quite common. This can cause issues with mould and mildew, as well as overall house deterioration.

Shifted Foundation

Another common issue properties face in Sydney is a shifted or compromised foundation. Soil movement, poor construction practices, or natural disasters can cause this. At Clear View Property Inspections, our team is skilled in identifying signs of a shifted foundation and assessing the extent of the damage. We understand that a compromised foundation can have serious implications for the structural integrity of a property. Many things, like natural settlement, poor design or cheap materials, can cause this. A strong foundation is necessary for a safe house.

From assessing the structural integrity to examining the electrical systems, plumbing, roofing, and more, our pre-purchase reports leave no stone unturned.

Sydney Pre-purchase Reports

Clear View Property Inspections offers thorough pre-purchase reports to assess the property’s condition. Our experienced inspectors cover structural integrity, electrical systems, plumbing, roofing, and more. We provide detailed photographs and explanations for a better understanding of our findings. All assessments are conducted in accordance with local building codes.

Our quick inspections offer a painless experience; any major defects found can be used as leverage for negotiating new contract terms or saving thousands off the purchase price. A pre-purchase inspection is essential when buying a property in Sydney, particularly for first-time homebuyers.

Identifying potential problems

An inspection can help uncover structural issues, electrical problems, or plumbing issues—crucial information for making purchasing decisions.

Ensuring safety

Identifies safety hazards like faulty wiring or gas leaks that may pose health risks to occupants.

Protecting your investment

Identifies potential costly repairs that could reduce the property’s value over time.

Negotiating repairs

Information from an inspection allows buyers to negotiate necessary changes before moving in and save money if needed repairs are factored into the deal.
