G’Day Everyone,
This is my first time to this forum. My wife & I currently have 2 +/CF properties in S.A.(we currently live in Adelaide)& we are now intending to look outside of S.A. for more properties (not much luck in S.A). My question today is If we were to buy in W.A, Qld, NSW or Vic were does one go to find Building Inspectors that will perform the inspection for us?Thanks for your response.

Hi, welcome to the forum, I’m a newbie too!
Maybe you could try doing a search at http://www.yellowpages.com.au
Hope this helps, good luck[biggrin]

Hi Rap,
An easy way to find some one who has a good reputation is to identify the closest town that has a solicitor (ensure they do conveyancing), give the solicitor a call and ask them who they regularly use for e.g building, pest, strata, surveys and for a contact number.
Remember that costs for these type of reports go up for regional areas while in and around the bigger towns they are cheaper due to more competition. Also turn around times tend to be quicker in the city and slower in the regional areas.
Also good to note there are only 2 insurers in the Australian market for pre-purchase inspections and I know one of them only now insure providers if they provide clients with a computer based report meaning tick box reports are not covered. Double check for your area.
If ever you need a provider in NSW, I can recommend http://www.opr.com.au middle of the road as far as costs but extremely knowledgeable on all sorts of stratums. All inspectors made available to comment and give advice on solutions to problems identified. Really good for first timers and some good information on their website.
Hope tis is of help.
Go to google.com.au and in the search field, type “Bendigo building inspector” or “Tamworth building inspector” etc.
This also works for pest inspectors aswell.Thanks to all for their help, very much apprieated
