Book an inspection →Our most comprehensive residential package. Combines a full building and pest inspection with an electrical safety assessment — particularly valuable for Sydney's older inner west properties where aging wiring is a common and costly issue.

Real feedback from property buyers across Sydney's inner west and surrounds.
"Wayne's inspection was incredibly thorough. He identified structural issues that could have cost us significantly after purchase — issues we simply wouldn't have found ourselves. The report was detailed, well-photographed, and in our inbox the next morning."
"Used Wayne twice now for inspections in Marrickville and Petersham. Both times the service was prompt, professional, and the reports were the most comprehensive I've seen. He really knows the inner west property market."
"As a first home buyer I was nervous about the whole process. Wayne made it easy — he arranged everything with the agent, explained what he was doing throughout, and his report gave us the confidence to proceed with the purchase."
"Booked online, had the inspection done within two days, report in my inbox the following morning. The level of detail in the report was remarkable — every defect photographed and clearly explained. Outstanding service."
"The electrical inspection saved us from a very expensive surprise. The report identified wiring issues throughout the property that would have cost $15,000+ to rectify. Money extremely well spent."
"What I appreciated most was the honesty. No upselling, no vague language designed to alarm you unnecessarily. Just a straight, clear assessment of the property's condition. Exactly what you want when making a million-dollar decision."
We cover Sydney's inner west and surrounding areas. Our inspectors have specific expertise in the older housing stock common throughout these suburbs — Federation terraces, inter-war bungalows, and heritage-listed properties that require local knowledge to inspect properly.
What does a Sydney property inspection include?
A Sydney property inspection covers all accessible areas of the building — roof structure and covering, walls and ceilings, floors and sub-floor, drainage, moisture levels, electrical (visual), plumbing (visible), and timber pest activity. Every inspection complies with Australian Standard AS 4349.1.
How much does a property inspection cost in Sydney?
Our Sydney property inspection prices are fixed: $495 inc GST for a unit or apartment building and pest inspection, $595 inc GST for a house or townhouse. Additional packages including electrical and thermal imaging are available from $695.
How quickly do I receive my inspection report?
Your written report — including photographs of every defect identified — is delivered to your email inbox within 24 hours of the inspection completing. We never sit on reports.
Why do I need a property inspection in Sydney?
Sydney property prices mean even modest defects can represent enormous repair costs. A pre-purchase inspection identifies structural problems, pest activity, drainage issues, and safety hazards before you exchange contracts — giving you the power to negotiate, request repairs, or walk away from a bad purchase.
Do you cover properties outside the inner west?
Yes. While our primary expertise is Sydney's inner west, we conduct property inspections across a broad area of Sydney. Call us with your property address and we'll confirm coverage immediately.
What happens after I submit the booking form?
We'll contact you promptly to confirm your inspection details and fixed price. We then liaise directly with the real estate agent to arrange access — you don't need to do anything else.
Complete the form and we'll take care of the rest — including arranging access with the real estate agent on your behalf.
Monday – Friday: 7:00am – 6:00pm
