Prepare before you list
Reduce surprises during the sale process.
When issues surface late, buyers may reassess their offer or ask for more information. A pre-sale inspection gives you time to understand accessible findings before that discussion starts.
Prepare for buyer questions
A clear report helps you speak with your agent, conveyancer and prospective buyers from an informed starting point.
Choose your next step
Use the findings to decide what to investigate, repair or disclose with advice from the appropriate professionals.

The inspection brings accessible building, structural conditions, moisture concerns and maintenance needs into one practical assessment.
Core assessments

The inspection is a visual assessment of reasonably accessible areas at the time of the visit. Where observations warrant specialist investigation, the report recommends further assessment. Building services are not certified for safety or compliance.

Victoria policy update
Prepare for change without overstating the law.
The Victorian Government announced in March 2026 that it would develop a proposed mandatory pre-sale building and pest inspection scheme, with legislation to be introduced in 2027. The proposal puts seller-arranged reports firmly on the agenda.
Arranging your inspection before listing gives you clear information early, with time to consider findings before buyer questions arise. For your current sale obligations, obtain advice from your conveyancer or legal practitioner. Read our Victoria pre-sale inspection changes guide or read the Victorian Government announcement.
Before you arrange an inspection
Questions from property sellers.
Understand how a pre-sale building inspection can support your sale preparation.
Why arrange a building inspection before selling?
A pre-sale inspection gives you an independent view of accessible conditions before buyers raise them during their own due diligence. It can help you decide what to address and how to present the property with clear information.
Can prospective buyers still arrange their own inspection?
Yes. A seller-provided report does not prevent a prospective buyer from arranging their own inspection or obtaining independent advice.
Are pre-sale inspection reports currently required in Victoria?
A general mandatory vendor building and pest inspection scheme is not currently in force. The Victorian Government has announced a proposed scheme, with legislation to be introduced in 2027. Seek your own conveyancing or legal advice about the obligations for your sale.
