Investing in property is a major decision, and verifying its condition is key to ensure you know what you’re getting into. Pre Purchase Building Inspections in Perth are a vital part of this journey, providing a comprehensive evaluation of the property’s state before you commit to your investment.
Before Making an Offer: Conducting an inspection before making an offer gives you a clear understanding of the property’s condition, helping you make an informed decision and negotiate effectively.
After Making an Offer: In cases where inspections are conducted post-offer, they’re often included as a condition in the contract. This may allow you to request repair or negotiate compensation for any major structural defects that are found upon inspection.
Identifying Structural Issues: Pre Purchase Building Inspections are crucial for uncovering any hidden structural problems that might not be visible during a casual walkthrough. This includes checking for roof integrity, and overall building stability.
Spotting Non-Structural Defects: Beyond the structure, our Building + and Comprehensive + Inspections focus on identifying other issues that could impact your investment.
Future Cost Implications: An inspection can forecast potential future expenses, helping you budget for repairs or maintenance that the property might require.
Confidence in Purchase: Pre Purchase Building Inspections provide the reassurance that you are making a well-informed decision, with a comprehensive understanding of the property’s condition.

ExcellentBased on 50 reviewsCourtenay Burn2 October 2023As a settlement agent, I frequently read building inspection reports. When I needed my own inspection, I knew I could trust an inspection by Paul. He is extremely thorough, knowledgeable and provides a quality report. Thank you Paul for what seems like a thousand jobs well done. I would also like to mention that you have a great admin team behind you and their communication has been excellent.Lejla Abaz26 September 2023Well run business. Knowledgeable, comprehensive, prompt service and great communication. Highly recommend.Karen Vi'Nova31 July 2023I do not have the words to convey just how amazing these guys are. They have been super helpful in answering all of our questions, and never made us feel silly for asking the questions that we did. Building a home is one of the scariest things when you don't know what to look for in terms of defects. The detailed reports we received highlighted defects that we would never have picked up on our own, which enabled us to speak with our builder. Everyone I have dealt with has been super friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate in recommending Broad Building Inspections.Gabby Wyndham23 July 2023Thank you to Paul and the team for your help! Working with BBI was such a pain-free experience, they delivered the service earlier than we expected and we received a report withing hours of the inspection. Paul was thorough and knowable and helped us feel confident in purchasing our first home! Massive thank you guys!Christine Jones18 April 2023My building inspection was organised within 24 hours of my enquiry. I received a complete and detailed report the same day of the inspection. Very impressed with Paul and the service provided.Emma Mondello3 April 2023We hired Paul from Broad Building Inspections to conduct a building and pest inspection on our home. Due to the nature of what I do, I see building and pest reports frequently. Seeing our report, it was evident that Paul was very knowledgeable. Paul was also happy to answer any questions we had regarding what he was able to find and was very helpful guiding us on his recommendations going forward. His detailed reports, quick responses and professionalism is why I now refer Paul as I fully trust his exceptional service.Nick Noble29 March 2023Paul is absolutely on-the-ball holding builders to account. We have used him to inspect our build with what we know to be a quality builder but even they have tripped up a bit and Paul has been very clear and helpful on not only the issues but the rectification or allowances you can make. This is the third time Paul has been on one of our properties. He is a valued asset who we know we can call upon anytime to help. 100% recommended and if you think because your buying from a big name you don't need him, we suggest you do and live with peace of mind.Cate Bridson7 March 2023Paul is an exceptional inspector who misses nothing with acute attention to detail and who keeps the builders fully accountable snapping at their heels through the entire process. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.Sarah Klomp11 November 2022Paul from broad building inspections was available anytime when I needed assistance. If I had any questions he was always happy to answer them. If I didn't have broad building inspection the building company would of done whatever they like. If I was to building again I would definitely use broad building inspections.
