FAQs

  • A building/structural inspection is often mentioned and included in most sale of contracts. Its there to ensure that the house you are looking to purchase is as it sounds “structurally” well. At your inspections, chances are you didnt climb in the roof, or you saw a crack in the ceiling. A building/structural inspection looks at the items you didn’t or couldn’t see and includes those that you did and provides a report that informs you on any structural issues, saving you potentially a large financial expense.

  • There are many times when you might request an inspection. This can include when you put an offer on a property, going to attend an auction, building a new house and want an independent inspector, requirement for development nearby or general request for your current property or investment.

  • Quite simply, no. You want someone experienced and that cares about your property and understands the financial implications of purchasing property. More important is the level of contact you can have with your inspector. We get a lot of feedback and calls that there was a issue noted however in a report but they couldn’t speak to someone around the issue. At Fine Point Building Inspections not only is Greg sought after for those in the trade his service and openess is second to none.

  • Call Greg, although more than likely Greg would have called you first.

  • Including in your building inspection is organising with a real estate agent to gain access to the property if required, an inspection of the property including taking photos and report emailed to you outlining what was observed. Also included is if the need requires to speak to Greg and talk about the report.

  • We work closely with many real estate companies as well as having others in the building/property industry refer clients to us based on what we offer.

  • This is a personal preference but for many its the value of having an independent inspector look at all the stages to ensure the house you are expecting is what you will receive in its structural integrity.

  • In most cases this isn’t required as there may be the sellers, tenants or other parties that requires a mutual time. In most cases we work with the real estate company around availability to access the property.

  • In most cases the building inspection can be upon invoice at conclusion of the inspection or at settlement in certain situations.

  • The cost of each inspection varies due to the complexity and property type, a one bedroom unit is different to a three storey home in both time taken to inspect and report.

    Please contact us and we will happily provide a obligation free price based on the property you are requiring an inspection on
