Pre-purchase building inspection
An independent visual inspection of accessible areas, with a written report covering observed defects, moisture concerns and recommended follow-up.
Private selling, professionally prepared.
Start with your lawyer, then select due-diligence checks based on the property type, age, documents and inspection findings. Building inspections, LIMs and valuations are strongly recommended where relevant, but they are not universal legal requirements. Providers contract with you directly and remain responsible for their advice and reports.

SoldByMe will review your request and, once suitable approved providers are available, may share it with up to three independent businesses. Each provider sets its own scope, price and terms. You choose whether to proceed.
SoldByMe provides a connection and information-organising service. It does not inspect property, give legal or financial advice, determine value or guarantee a provider’s conclusions. A seller-supplied report may not give a buyer reliance rights; ask the report provider and your lawyer.
