Pre-Purchase Building Inspections, what is it & what to expect.

What is a pre-purchase building inspection?

Buying a home is a big deal – the last thing you want is to discover hidden issues after you’ve signed the contract. A pre-purchase building inspection gives you peace of mind, helping you make informed decisions and avoid costly surprises down the track.

Who is a Pre-Purchase Inspection For?

  • First-home buyers who want to be confident they’re making a smart investment

  • Families making a big life move

  • Investors looking to understand the real condition of a property

  • Anyone buying property, really – whether it’s your forever home or a quick flip

What should I expect with a pre-purchase building inspection?

At Kinstone, we take a detailed look at every part of the property – inside, outside, top to bottom – and provide a clear, easy-to-understand inspection report within 24 hours. Each report includes 100–150 images and outlines:

  • Major structural issues

  • Safety hazards

  • Conditions that could lead to future damage

  • Significant minor defects worth noting

We inspect all key areas including the roof, subfloor, interiors, exteriors, and the surrounding site (like sheds, garages and fences).

If you're about to buy, a pre-purchase building inspection is your best friend. It gives you the knowledge you need to buy with confidence – or negotiate with power.
