FAQ

Pre-Purchase Building Inspections in Clyde: common questions

What is not included in a pre-purchase inspection?

AS 4349.1 is a visual inspection of readily accessible areas. It excludes electrical, gas and plumbing operation and testing, appliances, heating and cooling, automatic garage doors, pools and spas, concealed framing, footings below ground, asbestos and mould testing, and anything obstructed on the day. Timber pests fall outside this scope and are reported separately under AS 4349.3.

Do you check for termites?

Not in a building only inspection. Timber pests are reported under AS 4349.3, which is our building and pest inspection. In Clyde we recommend it, because the corridor has termite management systems on most newer homes and their condition matters.

How fast can you attend before my cooling off ends?

Usually within two to four business days, and sooner where a contract deadline needs it. Tell us the date when you book.
