We’re often asked: “Do I really need a pre-sale inspection before putting my property on the market?”
The answer is yes, and here’s why 👇
A pre-sale inspection helps you uncover potential issues before buyers do, giving you the chance to address them early, build buyer confidence, and avoid last-minute surprises that can derail a sale. CheckHome finds this prevents multiple building inspectors going to the property also.
Here’s what our pre-sale reports cover:
✅ Moisture Testing – non-invasive checks
✅ Roof – condition, type, penetrations, skylights, guttering, chimney
✅ Roof Space – water staining, insulation, borer
✅ Exterior Cladding & Joinery – condition & type, decks, patios, balconies
✅ Sub-Floor – foundations, insulation, borer
✅ Electrical – fuse board, wiring type, smoke alarms
✅ Plumbing – hot water cylinder, plumbing type
✅ Interior – kitchen, living, bedrooms, bathrooms, stairs
✅ Site – garages, fencing, retaining walls (up to 1500mm), driveways
A small step now can make a big difference when it’s time to sell 🏡
