At SBC Property Inspections we offer a range of professional services and reports. Pre purchase property inspections are designed to assist you to make informed decisions about the property you are considering buying. When conducting inspections and preparing reports we are acting on your behalf and provide you with independent and objective advice about the status and/or condition of the property.
We also conduct inspections for vendors in readiness for their upcoming sale. Having a report completed for the sale enables potential purchasers to have access to detailed information about the compliance of the property to help them make an informed decision.
Standards Australia has designed a standard to ensure the quality and consistency of pre-purchase property inspections. It is recommended that property inspections should be conducted in accordance with the Australian Standard 4349.1-1995. Our descriptions of our reports are based on this Australian Standard.
