Building Inspections

 

Pre-Purchase Inspections 

We report on the current condition of the property at the time of the inspection during the current weather conditions. The building inspection report indicates what components and systems may need repair, replacement or general maintenance; giving you knowledge and power make informed decision in regards to your budget or commitments.

If larger problems are found, a seller may agree to make repairs or negotiate accordingly.

Contact us as soon as you have a contract or before an auction to ensure the inspection and report is able to be completed within your timeframe. Also check with your bank on what they require, an Inspection may be part of the lending requirement, if the building has a plastered cladding the bank may request a Weathertightness Inspection.

North Star Inspections are professional and reliable and make every effort to meet your agreement or auction timeframes. The report is available within 24 hours of the inspection.
