What Is a Vendor (Pre-Sale) Inspection?
A vendor inspection is a full property assessment completed before your home hits the market. It identifies structural defects, safety concerns, and maintenance issues—giving you the chance to fix or disclose them early.
The result?
More trust from buyers, stronger negotiating power, and fewer surprises during the sale.

I am really grateful to Chris for doing a pre purchase building inspection for me at short notice. Chris was very thorough and very detailed in his report. He’s very knowledgeable, skilled and takes pride in what he does. He has high standards and a great work ethic. He has been very patient in answering all of my questions and was happy to provide advice when I raised my concerns about the defects with him. I have met real estate agents who suggest waiving the building inspection clause to make your offer more attractive and vendors who have an aversion to Chris. He goes through the property with a fine tooth comb so I can see why he may not be well liked by some. Your property is your biggest investment and ideally you don’t want to be spending more than $10k when you purchase a house. So, never waive the building inspection clause. I would use Chris again and would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a reliable building inspector. He’s worth his weight in gold.
