If you are a business owner or investor looking to purchase a commercial property in and around Adelaide, it is important to know what you are buying. Most people don’t have the experience or knowledge to survey a property and detect any existing problems let alone hidden or potential issues. It would not be a wise business decision to purchase a property without having an independent building inspection carried out.

With a Houspect Building Inspection, our experienced inspectors will accurately report on the condition of your intended purchase. By understanding any issues or potential problems that may arise in the future, a building inspection will help safeguard you from any unexpected and substantial outlays in both time and money down the track.

Houspect is available to carry out building inspections and provide independent and professional reports for business owners and property investors in South Australia.

What Does the Report Provide?

A Houspect Pre-Purchase Building Inspection report on commercial properties is a comprehensive and independent document completed in accordance with Australian Standard 4349.

The report will list all the various building components and external structures and document whether they will require your attention. Any defects will be reported on and any repairs and maintenance suggestions will be noted for your attention. Our qualified inspectors will photograph any notable items and include these in your report so that you can see what issues may exist and make an informed decision as to whether they are problems you are willing to take on.

If you have any particular concerns or questions about the property prior to our inspection, please advise us at the time of your booking so we can instruct our building inspector to address these issues specifically during the inspection.
