New home handover inspection
Move in with confidence
When the builder is about to complete construction on your new home - engage Inside Out Property Inspections to perform a
Pre-handover inspection to be confident that it is built to Australian Standards.
Almost all newly built homes have a list of defects that need to be repaired by the builder. Even if the home looks fine on the surface, it might have issues that you can't see. These defects and issues may not become obvious until years down the track, which can make getting the builder to come back to repair them really difficult, stressful and time consuming.
Inside Out Property Inspections will take that worry out of the process by conducting a thorough Pre-handover inspection and comprehensive report, detailing any potential minor and major defects, and steps to rectify them.
Our building inspectors thoroughly inspect a range of elements of the home including:
- Exterior wall claddings
- Brickwork
