Pre-Sale Building Inspection

Selling a property? A pre-sale building inspection helps you understand the condition of your property before it hits the market — so you can address issues upfront, price accurately, and avoid surprises that could derail a sale.

A1 Property Consultancy provides pre-sale building and timber pest inspections for vendors across Armidale, Glen Innes, Inverell, and the wider New England region of NSW.

Why Get a Pre-Sale Inspection?

Most buyers will arrange their own building and pest inspection before purchasing. If that inspection uncovers significant defects or pest damage that you weren't aware of, it can lead to last-minute price renegotiations, delayed settlements, or buyers walking away entirely.

A pre-sale inspection puts you in control. By identifying issues before you list, you can choose to carry out repairs beforehand, factor known issues into your asking price, or provide the report to prospective buyers as a show of transparency. Many real estate agents recommend pre-sale inspections because they help build buyer confidence and can lead to stronger offers and smoother transactions.

Having a vendor inspection report available for prospective buyers can also give them the reassurance they need to make an unconditional offer or bid higher at auction — because they already know the condition of the property.

What We Inspect

Our pre-sale inspection covers the same comprehensive scope as our pre-purchase inspections. We assess the building condition including structural elements, external and internal areas, wet areas, roof, subfloor, and site surroundings. We also carry out a full timber pest assessment covering termites, borers, and wood decay fungi, along with conditions conducive to future pest activity.

You'll receive a detailed written report with photographic evidence, delivered within 24 hours. We can also arrange a consultation to discuss the findings and advise on which issues are worth addressing before sale and which are unlikely to concern buyers.

For Real Estate Agents

If you're an agent preparing a property for market, recommending a pre-sale inspection to your vendor can help avoid complications down the track. We work with agents across the New England region and can coordinate inspections around your listing timeline.
