Building Inspections in Sydney

Tell us about the property and we'll match you with a local Sydney inspector

How Sydney works

We do not inspect in Sydney ourselves. Our own team works in Darwin and the Top End. Tell us about the property and we will pass your enquiry to an independent local inspector who does work here. It costs you nothing, and they quote you directly — the price, the scope and the report are theirs, not ours.

Buying or selling in Sydney?

Sydney's housing stock spans 150 years, from sandstone terraces to 2020s apartment towers, and the defects that matter differ enormously between them. Tell us what you're buying and we'll pass your enquiry to an inspector who works that part of Sydney.

Local Climate Considerations

Temperate and humid, with heavy east-coast rainfall events and significant salt exposure along the coastal strip from Cronulla up through the Northern Beaches.

Housing in Sydney

Victorian and Federation terraces, interwar bungalows, post-war brick veneer, and a very large stock of strata apartments — including a well-publicised cohort of 2010s towers with waterproofing and structural defect histories.

Pool rules in New South Wales

In NSW a pool or spa must be registered on the NSW Swimming Pool Register, and a property with a pool generally cannot be sold or leased without a certificate of compliance under the Swimming Pools Act 1992 and Swimming Pools Regulation 2018. This is stricter than most states — get it checked before you go to market.
