The price for home and property inspection in NSW has come down significantly over the last 5-10 years.

Traditionally the cost of a combined inspection and report was around $600. Due to a number of factors such as changing market conditions, and increased competition in the sector, prices have dropped. This might seem like a good thing for the industry, as long as quality or experience is not compromised.

building defect gallery - hidden horrors in houses

The worst building defects are often hidden or concealed away from view.

Over the last 5 years there has been a proliferation of ‘franchise models’ moving into the property inspection sector in Sydney. What’s interesting about these businesses is that they are not based in NSW. Our concern is that the business of building consultancy is not suitable for franchising. It is a very different type of service to mowing lawns. Being a good building consultant is not just about being able to find building defects. A good building inspector is a great communicator that can write complex technical reports and is able to explain issues in simple terms.

Our fees are nothing compared to the savings you can make based on the findings of the report.

Our Building Inspection can include any particular concerns you may have.
