If you’re buying, selling, or renting out a property, a building inspection isn’t a luxury—it’s a smart move.
But what exactly do you get for the price? And how much should you expect to pay?
Let’s break down the cost, what’s included, and why a professional inspection can save you far more than it costs.
What Does a Building Inspection Include?
Whether it’s for pre-purchase, pre-sale, or rental compliance, a proper inspection gives you more than just a once-over.
Our inspections are thorough, methodical, and backed by experience in spotting the things others miss.
All of our inspections include:
- Full internal and external checks
- Structural and weathertightness assessment
- Moisture testing in key risk areas (showers, kitchens, joinery)
- Roofing, subfloor, plumbing, electrical, and ventilation review
- Clear, jargon-free reporting with photos and recommendations
- 24-hour turnaround
- Optional follow-up if you need clarity
Plus, we offer standalone Healthy Homes and Meth Testing services for landlords or buyers who want extra protection.
Our Pricing (Simple and Transparent)
We charge based on property size to keep it fair and predictable. All prices below are + GST.
Pre-Purchase / Pre-Sale Building Inspection
- Up to 250 sq. m: $470
- Under 300 sq. m: $550
These are separate services depending on whether you’re buying or selling—but pricing is identical.
Healthy Homes Inspection (Standalone or Add-On)
- Up to 250 sq. m: $250
- Under 300 sq. m: $350
This includes a full compliance report outlining exactly where the property stands in relation to current rental regulations.
Meth Testing
- Up to 250 sq. m: $250
- Under 300 sq. m: $400
We carry out industry-standard field composite testing with a full report delivered fast—ideal for buyers or landlords wanting peace of mind.
What You’re Really Paying For
This isn’t just about ticking a box for the bank or your agent. It’s about protection.
A $470 inspection might save you:
- $20,000 in hidden moisture damage
- A legal headache over unconsented work
- Months of regret from buying a home with structural issues
We’ve helped buyers walk away from lemons. We’ve helped sellers fix problems before they became deal-breakers. And we’ve helped landlords avoid five-figure fines by picking up Healthy Homes non-compliance early.
Final Word
A building inspection is one of the smallest costs in the buying or selling process—but often the most valuable. It gives you leverage, clarity, and confidence in your next move.
At PRO CHECK, we don’t do rushed inspections or generic reports. We inspect like it’s our own money on the line—because we know what’s at stake.
