Building & Pest Inspections for Buyers’ Agents and Property Investors

True Inspect provides independent, detailed building and pest inspections tailored for buyers’ agents and remote investors across Melbourne, Adelaide, and Albury-Wodonga. Our reports are designed for professionals who need accurate, fast, and photo-rich assessments to support off-site property decisions.

Purpose-Built Reporting for Agents & Remote Buyers

Buyers’ agents and investors often work under time pressure, without access to the property themselves. Our reports are structured to make remote due diligence simple:

  • High-resolution photography showing defects clearly
  • Plain-language summaries with severity and repair notes
  • Thermal imaging & moisture readings where needed
  • Quick turnaround, typically within 24 hours

We work exclusively for the buyer — never for the seller or agent — and deliver reports you can confidently present to clients or use to negotiate.

What’s Included in the Inspection

Every True Inspect report follows Australian Standards (AS 4349.1 for buildings and AS 4349.3 for timber pests) and includes:

Interior & exterior

We check walls, windows, floors, ceilings, balconies, stairs, doors and surfaces for cracks, leaks or structural issues.

Roof space & exterior

Roof tiles, gutters, framing and insulation are reviewed for damage, water ingress or deterioration.

Subfloor inspection

We assess stumps, bearers and joists for rot, movement, or pest damage — particularly important for older homes.

Timber pest check

Signs of termites, borers or fungal decay are documented, along with risk factors (e.g. moisture, garden beds, poor drainage).

Site features

Paths, fences, retaining walls and external timber structures are reviewed for condition and safety.

Moisture testing

Wet areas are checked with meters to identify leaks or waterproofing failure in bathrooms, laundries or kitchens.

Thermal imaging

Used selectively to detect hidden damp, roof leaks or termite activity.

Each report includes clear, captioned photos and prioritised action points to help you manage next steps.

Ideal for Remote Property Buyers

We understand that many property investors and agents never physically inspect the home. That’s why our reports act as a virtual walk-through — with visual documentation and written explanation at every step.

Even without attending, your client will understand what they’re buying. We also offer follow-up calls if clarification is needed post-inspection.

Coverage Areas

We currently operate in:

  • Melbourne — inner suburbs, western growth areas, northern fringe and eastern hills
  • Adelaide — city fringe, foothills, coastal areas and developing outer suburbs

Our inspectors are local to these areas and understand region-specific risks like reactive clay soil, subfloor damp, and pest zones.
