Pre-Purchase Inspections
Know Your Property Before You Buy
Purchasing a home or investment property is exciting — but unexpected defects can turn that excitement into costly repairs, stress, and lost value. A pre-purchase building inspection from Marto Building Inspections gives you an independent, professional assessment of a property’s physical condition before you commit.
What We Inspect
Our visual pre-purchase inspections are tailored to give you a clear picture of a property’s condition and potential issues. We examine:
- Site & external areas — paths, driveways, fencing, drainage, and landscaping.
- Building exterior — walls, cladding, windows, doors, decks, and structural framing.
- Roof spaces — structure, insulation, flashings, gutters, and visible roofing material.
- Interior components — walls, floors, ceilings, fixtures, and finishes.
- Subfloor/underfloor areas — structural supports, ventilation, and visible concern
We identify defects, safety hazards and maintenance needs that could cost you money later — and describe them clearly in your written report.
Why a Pre-Purchase Inspection Matters
A comprehensive inspection helps you:
- Understand true property condition, not just what you see on the surface.
- Negotiate price or repairs with confidence if issues are found.
- Avoid unexpected costs after settlement.
- Protect your investment before making a legally binding decision.
Reports are delivered digitally within 24 to 48 hours so you can review findings quickly and confidently. Our inspectors are happy to walk you through the report and explain what each finding means for your property purchase.

Handover Inspections
Your Last Chance Before Final Settlement
A handover inspection is essential for new builds or newly completed renovations. It ensures that the property has been built correctly and completed to the expected standards before you take possession.

- Site & external areas — paths, driveways, fencing, drainage, and landscaping.
- Building exterior — walls, cladding, windows, doors, decks, and structural framing.
- Roof spaces — structure, insulation, flashings, gutters, and visible roofing material.
- Interior components — walls, floors, ceilings, fixtures, and finishes.
- Subfloor/underfloor areas — structural supports, ventilation, and visible concern
What You Get
- Detailed report with photographs — documenting all issues found
- Prioritised findings — from safety and structural risks to minor defects

This inspection gives you leverage to have defects rectified before settlement, protecting both your investment and your future enjoyment of the property.
