Pre-Purchase Building and Pest Inspection in Brisbane, Logan, Gold Coast & Ipswich
If you’re buying or selling a property, a Pre-Purchase Building and Pest Inspection in Brisbane, Logan, Gold Coast & Ipswich is essential. It provides a detailed report on the property’s condition, helping you make an informed decision. Whether you need an inspection before purchasing or before listing your home for sale, a thorough assessment ensures transparency and peace of mind.
Why Choose Two Qualified Inspectors?
Not all inspectors are the same. Choosing a team with a qualified builder and a licensed termite and timber pest inspector ensures a thorough and accurate inspection. Many single inspectors offering both services lack in-depth pest expertise, having only completed short courses. Two dedicated professionals reduce the risk of missed issues, ensuring a high-quality inspection.
Key Considerations for a Pre-Purchase or Pre-Sale Inspection
1. Ensure Inspectors Are Fully Licensed & Insured
Before hiring, check their QBCC licence to confirm their qualifications. Licensed inspectors provide comprehensive reports and adhere to Australian Standards. Additionally, they should have public liability and professional indemnity insurance to protect you in case of errors.
2. Avoid Inspector & Real Estate Agent Conflicts
It’s best to hire an independent building and pest inspector rather than using one recommended by the real estate agent. Some reports provided by agents may not be fully compliant with Australian Standards, potentially downplaying defects. An independent inspection ensures unbiased results.
Using Advanced Technology in Inspections
We use thermal imaging and Termatrac technology to detect moisture issues and termite movement inside walls. These advanced tools help identify hidden problems that could lead to costly repairs.

Pool Safety Inspections
If you’re buying, selling, or leasing a property with a pool, a pool safety certificate is legally required under Chapter 8 of the Building Act 1975. Inspectors will inspect fencing, barriers, and compliance with pool safety laws. So if you are unsure about the legality of the pool you should engage a pool inspector.
