Know What You’re Buying Before You Commit
Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. Hidden defects, structural issues, or safety hazards can turn your dream home into a costly nightmare. A pre-purchase building inspection from Inspection Hub gives you the facts you need to make an informed decision—before you buy or bid at auction.
We identify major defects, structural problems, and safety risks that could lead to unexpected costs or long-term headaches. In addition to the big concerns, we also report on minor defects and offer maintenance recommendations to help you protect your investment.
What We Inspect
Structural Integrity:
A solid home starts with a strong foundation. We assess footings, foundations, and overall structural stability.
Plumbing Performance:
Leaks, poor drainage, and waterproofing failures can cause major damage over time. We inspect stormwater systems, site drainage, and all wet areas.
Electrical Systems:
Outdated wiring or faulty switchboards pose safety risks. We check the condition of appliances, fittings, and electrical systems.
Roof Space & Insulation:
We inspect the roof structure for leaks, insulation quality, and any unauthorised alterations that could affect the property’s integrity.
Subfloor Assessment:
We look for termite activity, moisture problems, and plumbing leaks that could weaken the structure from below.
Outbuildings & Outdoor Areas:
We assess decks, verandas, carports, fencing, and other external structures for safety and stability.
Balconies & Staircases:
Elevated structures need to meet safety regulations. We check for compliance, strength, and durability.
