A pre-auction inspection should give you a clear picture of the property before you bid. The point is not to find every tiny cosmetic issue. It is to identify the visible defects and risks that could affect your decision or your budget.
If you are comparing services, start with the pre-auction building inspections page and the pre-purchase building inspection page to see how the service fits your buying stage.
What should be included?
- visible structural defects
- roof and drainage concerns
- internal and external defects
- moisture or water damage signs
- visible termite or pest indicators where relevant
Why it matters before auction day
Once you win at auction, you often have little room to renegotiate. A clear inspection report gives you the facts before you commit to a price.
What the report should help you decide
The report should help you decide whether to bid, cap your maximum price, ask more questions, or step back from the property.
