Why New Home Inspections Are So Important
MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS WITH CONFIDENCE
We want you to feel confident in your real estate transaction, and a pre-purchase building inspection can provide the peace-of-mind you need during such a major purchase.
Before you commit to buy, have your new house inspected by Site Inspections. Our qualified inspectors will warn you about any minor and major damage to the building; we’re experienced in finding the most common building faults and we can offer our advice on the significance and treatment of the defect. You should definitely avoid building inspectors recommended by builders & real estate agents as we find every single non-compliant defect which doesn’t benefit them.
Based on our findings and advice, you can decide whether it’s in your best interests to proceed, negotiate or withdraw your offer to purchase the property. We specialise in newly-built and existing homes, apartments and townhouses, and provide a detailed house inspection report within 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Not every home or building will have problems. Even then, not every problem is going to be difficult or expensive to address. But you can’t know for sure without a building inspection. Getting your home checked out by experts with plenty of knowledge to draw on, and the equipment to do it properly, will give you the complete picture, and ensure that you’re making an informed decision in your purchase.
Pre-purchase inspections can uncover hidden water damage, potential electrical hazards and even building conditions conducive to these sorts of problems. Though it’s fairly common that an inspection is undertaken to discover the extent of a problem rather than determining whether it’s there or not.
In cases like these, your pre-purchase inspection can help you determine whether you want to commit to a purchase – and by extension commit to addressing the problem. There is still plenty that can be done to fix a variety of issues that you may still wish to consider if you have your heart set on a property.
