Founded on the Gold Coast in 1995, Inspect My Home provides prospective home buyers with informative and independent property inspections in Hope Island and surrounding suburbs.
With vast experience and knowledge of South East Queensland, our Gold Coast property inspection company provides detailed and informative reports within 24 hours of the inspection so that you can make an informed decision on the property and buy with confidence.
As a licensed and insured company, you can rest assured that all of our building and pest reports are carried out in accordance with Australian Standards.
If you're looking to purchase a property in the Hope Island area, a building inspection is an important step of the buying process to ensure you know the true condition of the property.
As one of the most significant financial decisions you will make in your lifetime, getting independent building inspectors who work for you (not the seller or real estate agent) is essential for making an informed purchasing decision.
Our professional building inspectors will provide you with a comprehensive pre-purchase building inspection report (usually sent within 24hrs of conducting the inspection).
In the same way, it's critical to get a combined building and pest inspection to check for any termite activity or timber pest infestation.
Termites and their colonies are typically underground, out of sight or within wood materials so the termite damage is hidden out of sight. Termites can cause some serious damage to properties and can impact the property's structural integrity, resulting in costly repairs.
This is why it's a good idea to get a professional pest inspector who knows where to look for termite damage with the latest equipment on hand.

The cost of a building inspection depends on a range of factors such as the size of the property being inspected, the type of inspection you need and the region the property is located in.

The inspector will come prepared with all of the necessary tools and equipment to check for visible defects. If needed, your inspector can use radar and thermal equipment to look inside walls and hidden spaces.
Termites are a common problem affecting homeowners in Queensland. The statistics say that termites impact 1 in every 4 homes during the lifetime of the property.
Our inspectors use advanced technology designed to find evidence of pests without causing physical damage to your property.
Using a mixture of expert knowledge as well as moisture detection, thermal, and radar tools, your inspector can peer into walls, ceilings, and floors without causing any damage to your prospective property.Our pre-purchase building and pest reports are prepared in accordance with Australian Standards (AS 4349.1-2007 and AS 4349.3)
If any issues that could potentially compromise the property are found, the report can be used as evidence to either exit your contract or strengthen your negotiating position.
