The purpose of the pre-purchase building inspection is to get accurate advice about the condition of a property from an independent, highly experienced, registered and insured building consultant. Pre-purchase inspection reports are helpful for prospective buyers when signing conditional contracts of sale. Include a special condition as subject to a building inspection before signing any contract, which will allow you to not legally bind to any major structural building defect.
How you present your property and home is a critical element in achieving the best possible sale price in the market. We encourage the vendor or seller to contact AJ Consulting prior to listing a property on the market.

A Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) checks the quality of finish of a house construction to an acceptable standard. It is critical to perform this inspection with an experienced independent building inspector to ensure the home meets a minimum construction standard and reasonable quality finish.

Our Inspection service identifies non-compliances, incomplete works, substandard workmanship, and poor attention to detail aesthetically and structurally, finishing element defects and any other safety concerns.
