Buying a Property? A Building Inspection May Save You Thousands!

Archicentre Building Inspections are easy and affordable. Perfect for those who want an expert inspection on the main areas of a building.

Finding your dream home is an exciting time, but you have to be certain that your new house won’t cause unexpected stress down the track. Buying a new home may be the largest financial commitment of your lifetime - ultimately your decision will impact on your financial security and your family’s quality of life for years to come.

About a third of all homes sold in Australia have significant hidden faults.

If you buy a building with serious structural faults it could cost you tens of thousands to fix, plus the time and stress involved in organising repairs. These unbudgeted costs are typically added to your mortgage, which may dramatically increase your repayments. Spare yourself heartache and hidden costs by having your future home inspected by our building experts BEFORE you buy.

An Archicentre pre-purchase Building Inspection can give you peace of mind and reduce your risk of purchasing a home in need of unplanned and costly repairs!

With an Archicentre Building Inspection Report you know immediately if there are any major building faults. This report is extremely valuable when you are negotiating your property price, making a property bid, applying for a bank loan and, most importantly, it will help you buy your new home with confidence.

An Archicentre Accredited building expert will inspect the 7 primary building elements of the main building including floor, walls, roof, external windows and doors, and provide you with an easy-to-understand report that will let you know the REAL condition of the building.
