If you’re buying or selling a home, it’s crucial that you have both a building and a timber pest inspection completed on the home to avoid problems down the track. "THE INSPECTOR" offers pre purchase and pre sale building and pest inspections in Brisbane, Ipswich and Surrounding areas, which are thorough and accurate.

"THE INSPECTOR" is a family owned and operated buisiness.  The reports we provide for you are specific to your home and are not on a pre printed form.  We aren't part of a large franchise and we don't hire sub contractors.  We work just for you.  An after hours phone service is available.  Bill and Damian are not only inspectors but Bill is a registered and licenced builder and Damian a registered and licenced termite management technician. 

 Your inspecton is as important to us as it is to you.  Our team has over 100 years combined experience in the building and pest inspection business and we will be happy to share it with you.

 Money is tight for everyone however this may be the best investment you make.  The house may look and feel great but for total peace of mind a building and pest inspection from trusted inspectors is essential.

Is it necessary for you to attend the inspection?

Whilst we do prefer you to be present during the inspection, it is certainly not necessary. We do encourage you to attend where possible however we understand work and family comitments can get in the way,  This does not stop us from providing you with a personalised report and you can also take advantage of our consultancy based commentary, and we are in a position to answere any of your questions regarding the property.

What if a major fault or defect is detected?

 Don't despair! Firstly it is quite rare, and really - most faults can be fixed.  Solutions can most often be found and after speaking to our building inspector you may then be in a position to negotiate through the agent with the vendor.

 Sadly, some inspectors seem to be ‘panic merchants' and don't take the time to give the intending buyer a calm and rational explanation of the facts. Many a sale has fallen through unnecessarily and a real ‘dream home' lost

 
Minor defects?

 All homes, especially older properties have many minor faults that are normal in a building of it's age and structure.     We'll happily give you advice on repair and any preventative measures required to protect your investment.

How soon will you have your results?

 If you join us for the inspection, we will give you a verbal report then and there. If you can't be there we will personally phone through the results as early as it suits you. Your typed (confidential) report will follow via email to you or your nominated representative as you direct by the next working day at the latest.

Insurance?

 YES!  We are fully licenced and insured. Please ask us or your solicitor what this means to you.

 Purchasing a new home is most likely the largest investment you will ever make. For this reason there are important steps you should take to ensure it is a smart investment.
