Our prices are fixed and transparent — but these are the factors that determine which package is most appropriate for your property.
Units and apartments are inspected under AS 4349.1 Appendix B (lot only), while houses are inspected under Appendix C (full property). This is reflected in the pricing.
A building-only inspection is cheaper than a combined building and pest inspection. Adding electrical or thermal imaging increases the price but significantly increases coverage.
Older properties — particularly those built before 1960 — typically take longer to inspect due to the complexity of the construction and the higher likelihood of defects in multiple areas.
Electrical inspections and thermal imaging are add-on services that increase the price but provide substantially more information about the property's hidden condition.
We cover Sydney's inner west and surrounding suburbs. Properties within our standard service area are priced as above — call us to confirm coverage for your specific address.
Standard pricing applies to typical residential properties. Very large properties or those requiring extended inspection time may be subject to a supplementary fee agreed before booking.
