  • We look at the wiring, circuit boards, power points and light fittings for signs of damage or wear. For example, old or brittle wiring can pose a safety hazard and would need to be replaced.

  • We check for leaks, issues with water pressure and the general condition of pipes, taps and drains. Low water pressure might indicate a hidden leak or blockage. Plumbing issues can be expensive if not caught early.

  • We examine the walls, roofs and foundations to ensure everything is sturdy and free from defects. Even small cracks in walls can hint at more serious problems. Finding these early can prevent bigger costs later on.

  • We look for defects like damp, rotting timber and faulty fittings. These can often be hidden, so a detailed inspection is key to revealing potential trouble spots. An example might be a window frame that isn’t sealed properly and allows water to seep into the walls.

  • For new builds or major renovations, we ensure all work meets local building regulations. We inspect each stage of construction to confirm quality and compliance, which reduces the risk of defects popping up in future.

  • If you’re buying an apartment or townhouse, we review the owners’ corporation records. This lets us check the building’s maintenance history, financial status and any upcoming costs, so you know exactly what you’re getting into.

  • We check pools and spas to ensure they meet local safety rules. This includes looking at fences, gates, pumps and filters. For instance, if the fence around a pool is too low or not secure, it creates a serious safety risk.
