Detailed Checks, Local Knowledge
When it comes to inspections, local experience makes all the difference. We understand the property types and common concerns in Sawtell, from older beachside homes to newly built developments.
Our process includes:
- Thorough visual checks inside, outside, roof space & subfloor
- Pest detection for termites, borers & other timber threats
- Optional thermal imaging for identifying hidden damage
We tailor each inspection to the property and the client’s concerns, so nothing important gets overlooked. Once we’re done, you’ll get a fast turnaround on your report, complete with photos and practical recommendations. We believe in keeping things simple and transparent. That means no confusing jargon, no pushy upselling—just helpful advice and clear insights so you can make the right move.
With our flexible 24/7 availability (Monday to Saturday), fast reporting and friendly service, we make it easy for Sawtell locals to get the information they need, when they need it.
What happens if issues are found during the inspection?
If problems are found, the inspector will detail them in the report and explain their severity. This gives buyers a chance to negotiate repairs or price adjustments or walk away if the issues are serious. Sellers may choose to fix problems before listing. Either way, having this information upfront helps avoid costly surprises after settlement and can guide next steps for property maintenance or renovation.
Can I attend the inspection?
Yes, in most cases, clients are encouraged to attend all or part of the inspection. Being on-site allows you to ask questions in real time and see issues firsthand. While inspectors will still provide a full report, walking through the property with them can give you valuable context and a better understanding of the property’s condition. Just make sure to coordinate access with the seller or agent in advance.
How soon will I receive the inspection report?
Most inspection reports are delivered within 24 hours of the inspection. Some may be sent the same day, depending on the inspector’s schedule and the complexity of the findings. The report will be emailed in a digital format and may also include a phone call or debrief to explain the results. Quick turnaround is especially important in property transactions where timing is critical.
What if parts of the property aren’t accessible?
If areas like roof spaces, subfloors or locked rooms are inaccessible, the inspector will note this in the report. These areas may need to be reinspected once access is granted. Inspectors work within safety and legal limits, meaning they won’t force entry or put themselves at risk. It’s best to ensure the property is fully accessible before the inspection to get the most accurate and complete report.
