If you’re in the process of buying a property, that’s a HUGE accomplishment. But before you sign on the dotted line, it’s important to have a professional come in and assess the condition of the property. This is where a Premium Pre-Purchase Inspection comes in.
A premium pre-purchase inspection is an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a property, from the roof to the foundation. It’s important to have one done before you purchase a property because it can reveal any potential problems that may need to be addressed. Additionally, having a premium pre-purchase inspection can give you leverage when negotiating the final purchase price with the seller.
Why You Need a Premium Pre-Purchase Inspection?
There are many reasons why you should get a pre-purchase inspection done before buying a property. Here are just a few:
- To ensure the property is structurally sound. A pre-purchase inspection will assess the condition of the property’s structure, including the foundation, walls, ceilings, floors, and roof. The inspector will look for any signs of damage or deterioration and make note of any repairs that may be needed.
- To check for pest related damage. All over Australia, pests like termites can wreak havoc on properties. A pre-purchase inspection will look for any signs of pest infestation or damage and make recommendations for treatment if necessary.
- To identify any safety hazards. The inspector will also look for any safety hazards on the property, such as trip hazards, electrical dangers, or gas leaks.
- To check for asbestos. If the property was built before 1989, there’s a chance it contains asbestos insulation or other asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). ACMs can be harmful if they’re disturbed, so it’s important to have them assessed by a trained professional prior to purchase.
- Peace of mind knowing that you’re making a well-informed decision about your future purchase.
If any major problems are found during the inspection, you may want to consider renegotiating your purchase price with the seller or walking away from the deal altogether.
Additionally, if any items identified during the inspection need to be repaired or replaced, you’ll have time to factor those costs into your budget before making your final decision about whether to purchase the property.

Benefits of a Building and Pest Inspection Report
Unlike a basic building inspection, Premium Pre-Purchase Building Inspections identify the presence of termites and other pests, as well as highlighting conditions conducive to future activity. Due to the devastating damage termites can cause, these reports are considered vital in most parts of Australia.
If major defects or termite activity is found, our reports provide the knowledge you need to either avoid purchasing the affected property – saving you from stress and financial loss – or assist in negotiating an appropriate price that factors in corrective action that may need to be taken.
By obtaining a Jim’s Premium Pre-Purchase Building Inspection, our clients are also able to plan ahead and factor in any additional costs such as maintenance, repairs and future renovations. Due to the popularity and necessity of these inspections, we offer reports combined at a discounted rate – saving you money and helping you to minimize risk.
