Pre-Purchase Inspections

Protect your investment with expert eyes on your future home.

A pre-purchase building inspection is one of the most crucial steps in the property buying process. It gives you peace of mind, uncovers hidden issues, and helps you make informed decisions—before you're locked into the contract. Whether you're buying your first home, upsizing for a growing family, or investing in property, we’re here to ensure you don’t get caught out by nasty surprises like structural defects, water damage, or termites.

As Western Australia’s only licensed Building Contractor performing property inspections, Beagley Building offers a level of insight and accountability few can match.

Why Get a Pre-Purchase Inspection?

A professional inspection helps you:

• Avoid expensive surprises after settlement.

• Uncover hidden defects that might not be visible to the untrained eye.

• Negotiate a better price or request repairs before finalising the sale.

• Buy with confidence, knowing exactly what you're walking into.
