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 or pre-sale, a proper inspection gives you more than just a once-over.
My inspections are thorough, methodical, and backed by experience in spotting the things others miss.
All of my 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
- Same-day reports
- Optional follow-up if you need clarity
My Pricing (Simple and Transparent)
I charge based on the number of bedrooms to keep it fair and predictable. All prices include GST.
Pre-Purchase / Pre-Sale Building Inspection
- 1–2 bedrooms: $540
- 3–4 bedrooms: $640
- 5–6 bedrooms: $740
- 7+ bedrooms: contact me for a quote
These are separate services depending on whether you’re buying or selling—but pricing is identical.
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 $540 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
I’ve helped buyers walk away from lemons. I’ve helped sellers fix problems before they became deal-breakers.
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, I don’t do rushed inspections or generic reports. I inspect like it’s my own money on the line—because I know what’s at stake.
