A professional, mainly visual assessment of a property condition (building and timber-pests) to identify significant defects, safety hazards, and timber pest activity before you commit to buy.

Before you exchange contracts, so you can negotiate, set conditions, or decide not to proceed based on the findings.

Dependent on size, age and access, ran inspection takes about 3 hours on site for a typical 3 - 4 bedroom property plus a couple of hours for documenting the findings.

Older or complex homes can take longer.

Building Inspection:

A visual check of accessible areas - roof space, subfloor, interior, exterior and the surrounding site - focusing on major defects, moisture/leaks, structural movement, roofing issues and safety risks.

Timber-Pest Inspection:

A visual and audible inspection seeking evidence of termites/borers, timber decay and conducive conditions.

It's not a compliance certificate or warranty, it's a snapshot at the time of the inspection, generally non-invasive and guided by Australian Standards AS4349.1 and AS4349.3.

Hidden or inaccessible areas and defect rectification costs estimates are typically out of scope.

Not legally mandatory in NSW, but strongly recommended by government and industry bodies as it can bring to light what can be unpleasant or costly surprises.

Prices vary by property size/type and location. Typical combined building and timber-pest quotes often fall within the $650 - $750 range.

Here at Myall Property Inspections we typically endeavour to inspect the property within 24 hours of access being available, with reports issued on the day of the inspection.

Absolutely.

In fact we'll do one better, our inspector will call you after the inspection to discuss any major findings.
