New Home Inspection, what is it & what to expect.
What is a new home inspection?
Just because a home is brand new doesn’t mean it’s perfect. In fact, many new builds have hidden defects that only show up after the keys are handed over – and by then, it’s your problem to fix.
That’s where a New Home Inspection comes in. It’s a detailed, independent check of your property to make sure everything has been built to code, to standard, and as per the contract – before you move in.
This inspection happens when the builder says your new home is finished. We walk through the property with a fresh set of eyes and a long checklist, picking up things the builder may have missed or rushed.
From paintwork and cabinetry to flooring, fixtures, fittings, doors, windows, and more – we check it all.
Who is a new home inspection for?
First-time homeowners moving into a brand new build
Owner-builders or those working with volume builders
Anyone who wants peace of mind that the home is finished to a high standard
People preparing for settlement and needing leverage to get defects fixed before handover
This inspection is your last chance to pick up defects before you take full responsibility for the home – and it can save you thousands.
