Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check wall cracking patterns, step cracks in brickwork, gaps at window and door frames, and out-of-square openings. In Hampton Park, these signs can indicate reactive soil movement or inadequate drainage, which may require ongoing maintenance or more significant rectification.
We inspect visible waterproofing breakdown, swelling skirting, silicone failure, shower recess junctions and signs of previous leaks. Wet area repairs can be expensive, so we flag moisture-related indicators early and note where further testing by a specialist may be warranted.
Where accessible, we inspect the roof cavity for water staining, damp insulation, mould-like growth, sagging ceilings and evidence of past roof leaks. We also note ventilation and condensation risks that can cause ongoing damage, particularly after heavy rain periods.
We assess how water moves around the home by checking surface grading, downpipe connections, overflow areas and signs of ponding. Poor discharge or negative fall can contribute to footing movement and damp conditions, so we document defects that affect the building’s durability.
If the property has a subfloor area or raised sections, we look for dampness, inadequate ventilation, timber deterioration and evidence of pests. Even partial subfloor access can reveal moisture sources and structural concerns that aren’t visible from inside the home.
We look for warning signs around extensions, removed walls, enclosed patios and garage conversions—such as uneven floors, cracking at junctions, inconsistent materials and poorly finished penetrations. These are common sources of hidden defects and can affect insurance, resale and repair costs.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
In Hampton Park, we pay close attention to signs of ground movement around brick veneer walls, drainage and stormwater discharge, and moisture issues in bathrooms and laundries—especially where renovations have been done. We also check the roof space (where accessible) for leaks and condensation indicators. The goal is to identify defects that commonly become expensive after purchase and document them clearly for negotiation.
Yes. We regularly inspect tenanted properties and homes with timed agent access. We’ll make the most of the allocated window by prioritising major defect risk areas: exterior drainage and walls, wet areas, roof void access (if available), and overall structural indicators. If access limits prevent checking a key area, we note it in the report so you understand what wasn’t able to be assessed.
Yes. The report separates major defects, safety concerns and maintenance items, with photos and clear descriptions so you can discuss them with your conveyancer and use them in negotiations. We highlight items that can affect cost or livability—such as active leaks, significant cracking patterns, drainage issues or poor renovation workmanship—so you can decide whether to renegotiate, request repairs, or walk away.
Renovated homes can look great but still hide issues. In Hampton Park we often see wet areas updated without addressing underlying moisture, and older patios or carports enclosed in ways that can create drainage problems or cracking at junctions. We check for uneven floors, cracking where additions meet the original house, poor ventilation in roof spaces, and surface water being directed toward the building.
Our pre purchase inspection services can be tailored to include pest assessment depending on what you need for the property and contract conditions. If you’re unsure, tell us the address and property type and we’ll recommend the most suitable inspection scope. Either way, we document findings clearly and explain which items need further specialist investigation before you proceed.
