🏡 Thinking of Selling Your Home in Perth?

When selling a property, first impressions matter — and so does transparency. A pre-sale building inspection gives you the upper hand by identifying potential issues before buyers do, helping you achieve a smoother sale process and maximise your property’s value.

At Structsure, we provide professional pre-sale building and pest inspections across Perth and surrounding suburbs, giving sellers peace of mind and the confidence to market their property with transparency.

🔎 What is a Pre-Sale Building Inspection?

A pre-sale building inspection is a detailed, visual assessment of your property’s condition before it’s listed for sale. Whether you’re selling a house, unit, townhouse, or investment property, understanding its true condition is essential.

Our inspections identify everything from minor cosmetic defects to major structural concerns that could affect your property’s market value or delay settlement. By knowing these issues upfront, you can:

  • Address defects proactively
  • Build buyer confidence
  • Negotiate from a stronger position

All inspections are conducted in line with Australian Standards:

  • AS 4349.1 – Pre-Purchase Building Inspections
  • AS 4349.3 – Timber Pest Inspections
  • WA Standards & Tolerances
  • NCC Volume 2 (National Construction Code)

While the inspection report is not a guarantee against future issues, it provides sellers with valuable insights to present their property transparently and professionally.

For properties with pools, plumbing, or electrical systems, we recommend engaging additional licensed specialists to complement your pre-sale inspection. This demonstrates transparency to buyers and helps secure a smoother, more profitable sale.
