What is the process for a building inspection?

  1. During the inspection, the inspector will assess these areas, looking for signs to determine the property's condition and any impact this might have on value.
  2. Following the pre-purchase building inspection, the inspector will prepare a detailed report outlining any major concerns like dampness, mould, leaks, sinking foundations, fire hazards, and rusting frameworks. They'll often explain in the report what is a major concern, and what is a minor concern.
  3. A professional building inspector is well-versed in identifying potential issues that might go unnoticed by the layperson. For example, stuck windows on one side of the house could indicate foundation problems.
