Common questions

Building inspection FAQs

What does a building inspection NOT cover?

A standard visual building inspection doesn't cover asbestos testing (though the inspector may note suspect materials), mould testing, engineering assessments, swimming pool safety compliance, electrical testing beyond noting visible safety concerns, or plumbing pressure testing. These require specialist inspections. Discuss any specific concerns when requesting so the inspector can confirm whether their scope covers them or recommend an appropriate specialist.

Can I attend the inspection?

Yes — attending the inspection is highly recommended. Being present allows the inspector to walk you through their findings in real time, answer questions on the spot, and give you a sense of which items are minor maintenance versus significant concerns. You'll also get a feel for the property's general condition firsthand. Most inspections take 1.5–3 hours depending on property size.

What's a major defect versus a minor defect?

A major defect is one that affects the structural integrity, safety or habitability of the property — for example, significant movement in walls or stumps, major roof structure damage, deteriorated subfloor timbers, or unsafe balustrades. A minor defect is a maintenance issue that doesn't affect structural integrity — peeling paint, hairline cracks in render, minor gutter issues. The report will classify defects so you can assess relative importance.

Should I use the report to negotiate price?

Yes — significant defects identified in a building inspection report are commonly used as grounds for price renegotiation or vendor rectification before settlement. Your solicitor or conveyancer can advise on the best approach based on your contract and the nature of the defects found. The inspection report is your independent professional evidence for any negotiation.

How quickly will I receive the report?

Most building inspectors provide a written report with photos within 24 hours of the inspection, often same-day for inspections completed in the morning. For time-sensitive pre-auction or pre-exchange situations, mention your deadline when requesting and inspectors who can turn around the report within your required timeframe will be matched.
