What Vendors Should Expect During a Building Survey

To carry out a thorough and accurate building survey, our surveyors need access to all areas of the property. We understand that inspections can be disruptive, so we aim to be respectful, efficient, and careful at all times. The information below outlines what vendors can expect on the day of inspection.

Our surveyor will require safe and reasonable access to all internal and external areas of the home. This may include garages, roof spaces and any detached structures. Please ensure keys are available for any locked areas.

As part of a standard inspection, our surveyor may:

  • Open and close cupboards, wardrobes, and cabinets
  • Open and close doors and windows
  • Flush toilets and briefly run taps
  • Operate light switches and exhaust fans
  • Inspect walls, ceilings, floors, skirting boards, and wet areas
  • Visually check fixed appliances (personal or complex appliances are not operated)

These actions are necessary to identify defects, moisture issues, ventilation concerns, and the overall condition of the property.

Externally, our surveyor may:

  • Walk around the entire building
  • Inspect fencing, retaining walls, decks, balconies, and pergolas
  • Check visible drainage points and services
  • Inspect roofing and gutters from ground level or other safe, accessible vantage points

To help the inspection proceed smoothly, we recommend:

  • Clearing access to cupboards, manholes, and service areas
  • Securing pets away from inspection areas
  • Ensuring water and electricity are connected
  • Advising us of any known issues or areas of concern

Our surveyors take care to leave the property as they found it. Taps are turned off, lights switched off, cupboards closed, and windows and doors returned to their original positions after inspection.

If you have any questions or concerns prior to the inspection, please contact us. We’re happy to explain our process and ensure the inspection is carried out efficiently and respectfully.
