Pre-Purchase Unit & Apartment Inspection
Know exactly what you are buying
A pre-purchase inspection gives you the unit's condition in writing before you commit — major and minor defects, safety items, moisture and timber pest. So you can make an informed decision, and move forward with confidence.
What's covered
A combined building and timber pest inspection to AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3, scoped for strata and company title: the building interior of the unit, and the building exterior immediately associated with it — wet areas, balconies and courtyards included. Common areas of the building are not part of the inspection. Written photo report the same day.
What We Look For in Units
Wet areas and waterproofing
Failed waterproofing is one of the most expensive defects a unit can hide. Showers, bathrooms and laundries — and the walls and ceilings around them — get close attention for moisture and movement.
Balconies and balustrades
Balcony surfaces, drainage and balustrades are assessed for defects and safety hazards — among the most common and costly repair items in older walk-up blocks.
Termites in ground-floor units
Ground-floor and garden-level units carry genuine timber pest risk, especially in older blocks with garden beds against the slab. The timber pest inspection covers visible activity, damage and conducive conditions.
How It Works
Three Simple Steps. Same-Day Report.
Call Or Enquire
Send us the property address and let us know what inspection you need. We’ll confirm the fee upfront before you decide to book.
Booking & Inspection
Prior to the inspection we send you a simple booking form to review and fill in your details, and we can help coordinate access with you or the agent if needed. Payment can be made prior to the inspection, or prior to receiving your report.
Same-Day Written Report
You’ll receive a clear, photo-rich, easy-to-understand written report in your inbox the same day as the inspection. After every inspection we go through the report and findings with you, so you understand exactly what was observed and what the recommendations mean.

★★★★★I am so very lucky to have chosen CYTE to inspect a home we have on contract. Rhys was a total professional. Knowledgeable and his efforts to explain and communicate were second to none. Thank you Rhys you made our decision worthwhile.
