Nightingale Property Inspections are your local partners in property, providing you with prompt, affordable pre-purchase home inspections services all carried out by our experienced, accredited and friendly team.
Nightingale are the specialists in pre-purchase residential property inspections.
Our reports will assist you in any property purchase – via an agent, private sale or at auction.
Structural Building Inspections
The minimum requirement for most property purchases is a Structural Building Inspection. We will assess the structural elements of the home – the foundations, under the floor, the walls, the roof structure, inside the roof – all the parts that hold up the building. Detailed, multi-page report full of colour photos.
Comprehensive Building Inspections
This option is useful for home buyers and investors who have allowed for negotiating on non-structural defects in their contract, or would like to know more about the immediate maintenance requirements of the property.
The comprehensive building inspection includes an assessment of the structural elements of the property and also information on the condition of the building’s non-structural areas – cladding, windows, roofing, gutters, doors, cabinets, verandahs, patios, garages, site drainage, paths, gates and more. Detailed, multi-page report full of colour photos.
Timber Pest Inspections
Yes we also complete Timber Pest Inspections! This inspection can be added onto your Building Inspection. All areas of the house and grounds will be checked for termite activity, termite damage and conditions conducive to timber pests, including excessive moisture. We also check for other timber pests including wood borers and fungal decay of timber during this inspection. You’ll receive a separate detailed multi-page report with colour photos.
Nightingale Property Inspections are available 7 days a week for building and timber inspections in the South West region, and we can usually work on late notice.
We are fully accredited and insured for your complete peace of mind. We’re also backed by 30+ years of experience in the building & construction industries and in auditing & inspecting.
At Nightingale Property Inspections all our reports are completed in strict accordance with Australian Standards 4349.1-2007 (Inspection of buildings – Pre-purchase inspections – Residential buildings) and 4349.3-2010 (Inspection of Buildings – Timber Pest Inspections) as is required when buying a home in Western Australia.
A pre-purchase property report that does not comply with the Australian Standards may compromise the sale contract – make sure you always book with a trained and accredited pre-purchase home inspector who knows these standards inside out, and not just a builder or tradesperson.
Here’s how it works:
We’ve done everything we can to make the whole property inspection process clear and easy to follow, for first home-buyers and seasoned investors alike. We’ll make sure we get all the details we need from you to arrange your inspection, so you can get on with everything else that’s needed when purchasing a home.
1. Firstly, you’ll provide us with a few details – where you’re buying, what inspection you need and how soon.
2. Then we’ll handle the property access arrangements with your agent or the vendor, while keeping you up to date each step of the way.
3. Our inspector will attend the property at the time agreed to by all parties, and carry out a detailed assessment. This takes about 2 hours on a regular size home.
4. Our inspector will call you on the day of the inspection to let you know of any significant findings.
5. Then we’ll email you with your complete report the following day, and we are available by phone to discuss any areas of your report that you need clarified. We provide separate reports for building inspections and timber pest inspections.
