After a building inspection, the most important step is to read the report carefully and use it to decide your next move. The report is there to help you respond to the property condition, not just file it away.
If you are comparing services, start with the pre-purchase building inspection page and the building inspection checklist article for context.
Common next steps
- review major defects first
- compare the findings with the contract timeline
- ask follow-up questions if anything is unclear
- use the report to renegotiate if needed
- walk away if the risk is too high
Why timing matters
If you are buying, you usually need to act fast. A good report helps you make a decision while there is still time to negotiate or cancel, depending on the contract terms.
What the report is for
The report should be practical. It should tell you what was found, how serious it looks, and what matters most from a buying perspective.
