Pre Purchase Inspections

Arm yourself with powerful knowledge before you buy.

An in-depth analysis of a property to ensure you’re making the best investment decision.

Searching, deciding and purchasing a home is known to be a stressful process. Not only is it one of the biggest financial investments you’re likely to make in your life, but it’s also what can keep you or your family safe and comfortable for many years to come. When you find the perfect place and want to make an offer, the final step is a pre-purchase inspection by Kingview to ensure there’ll be no unsettling surprises down the road.

Our pre-purchase inspections detail the current condition of the property so you gain complete visibility into the asset you’re about to buy. Our mission is to serve your best interests, which means we take the utmost care in our inspections and cover every house feature that could have defects or damage.

We provide a detailed report that highlights this information, so you can decide if you want to continue pursuing the purchasing of the property. You can also use our report to guide negotiations, using it as evidence of the costs you’ll take on to repair the defects.

Our inspection service and report follows the Australian Standards 4349.1, so you can rest assured the expectations of the report are within reason. With our professional and experienced inspectors assessing your home before purchase, you can make clear and confident property decisions that ensure a wise investment.

Inspection Type

What areas do pre-purchase inspections cover?

Roof

Roofs can be prone to both internal and external issues. Our inspectors assess the interior cavity of the roof for insulation, framing and sarking problems, and the exterior of the roof for issues regarding tiles, gutters, downpipes, eaves, vents, and flues to identify any defects or damage.

Floor

Floors are a foundational element in houses and floor issues can create compounded problems. Our inspection will evaluate the floor for any issues regarding the framing, posts, stumps, ventilation and check for blocked vents, rising damp, surface water or dry rot.

Living areas

Our inspection covers all of the internal rooms in the house, including the kitchen, living rooms, bathrooms, ensuites, bedrooms and hallways. Within these rooms, we hone in on the features like doors, windows, stairs, wardrobes, carpets and tiles, and storage spaces, because defects are common in these spots.

Outside areas

Outdoor spaces vary the most from one property to another but rest assured, we cover all the outdoor features on a property to assess for defects or damage. This might include patios, pergolas, shades, exterior stairs, garages and sheds, driveways, fences and paths. Then we turn our focus toward the technical aspects like walls, doors, windows, water systems and drainage, to ensure you’re not hit with any surprises down the road.
