Buying a New Home? A Property Inspection May Save You Thousands!

Australia’s Best Independent Fixed Price Pre-Purchase Property Inspection with a $50,000 12 month Guarantee Offer*.

Finding your dream home is an exciting time, but you have to be certain that the house you buy won’t cause you more 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 property with serious faults it could cost you tens of thousands to fix, plus the added 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 new home inspected by a real building expert before you buy.

An Archicentre pre-purchase Property Inspection Report gives you peace of mind, reduces risk and can save you thousands!

With an Archicentre Property Inspection Report you know immediately if there are any serious building faults. This report is extremely valuable when you are negotiating your property price, making a property bid or applying for a bank loan. Most importantly, it will give you the confidence you need to sign on the dotted line – especially as it comes with our $50,000 Guarantee Offer.

We complete a minimum 200-point inspection of the entire property, including all buildings, fixtures, fittings and finishes. You will receive an easy-to-understand report of the highest quality, containing the findings of the building inspection, identifying major defects, minor defects and maintenance items. It also includes an analysis of the probable cause and advice on how best to fix these issues.
