Arranging for a pre-sale vendor pest and building inspection is crucial for property owners as it allows major and minor defects to be identified and resolved before the property goes to market. This means that you can list the property for the best possible selling price, indicating to potential buyers that it is a safe and compliant home.
A pre-sale vendor inspection is conducted so that an owner is fully aware of the condition of their property before putting it up for sale, and it also minimises the risk of renegotiation of the sale price from potential buyers.

What is the Difference Between a Pre-Sale Vendor Inspection and a Pre-Purchase Inspection?
Pre-sale vendor inspections are performed on behalf of the current owners of the property before it goes on the market for sale. Pre-purchase inspections, on the other hand, are performed on behalf of potential buyers to provide advice on the condition of the property before they make the decision to purchase it.
Why is a Pre-Sale Vendor Pest and Building Inspection Important?
A pre-sale vendor pest and building inspection is important because it ensures that any defects or issues are identified and resolved before the property is listed for sale. This proactive approach allows you to:
- List the property at a higher selling price by showcasing it as a well-maintained, safe, and compliant home.
- Reduce the likelihood of buyers renegotiating the sale price due to identified issues during their own inspections.
- Increase buyer confidence, making the property more attractive to potential buyers

Benefits of Vendor Pre-Sale Reports
A pre-sale vendor pest and building inspection is important because it ensures that any defects or issues are identified and resolved before the property is listed for sale. This proactive approach allows you to:

- Identify potential issues during a building and timber pest inspection, giving the seller a clear understanding of what needs attention.
- Provide the seller with the opportunity to address any issues that could potentially decrease the property value before going on the market.
- Equip the seller with the knowledge needed to negotiate effectively with potential buyers.
- Give the seller confidence when the property goes on the market, knowing it is in the best possible condition.
By providing potential buyers with a comprehensive pre-sale vendor inspection report, you can enhance the appeal of your property, streamline the sales process, and achieve a more favourable outcome in negotiations.
What is Included in a Pre-Sale Vendor Inspection?
Like a pre-purchase inspection, a pre-vendor inspection checks all areas of the property for major and minor defects. The inspector will assess:
- The interior of the building
- The roof space
- The exterior of the building
- The sub-floor space
- The roof exterior
- The property within 30 meters of the building subject to inspection

What Happens After Your Pre-Sale Vendor Inspection is Completed?
After the inspection, you will receive a detailed report like a pre-purchase property report. This report will outline any identified defects, safety hazards, and structural issues within the property, providing you with the necessary information to make repairs and improvements. The report can be structured as a Building Inspection Report, Pest Inspection Report, and/or Strata Inspection Report. Contact us today on 0488 885 203 or alternatively, Order an Inspection online.
