HouseCheck offers a variety of reports suited to your needs

The Comprehensive Defects Report

Aimed at buyers this report details most of the defects in a property - together with estimates of the costs of repairs.

The Vital Defects Home Inspection

The law now requires sellers to make a written and legally-binding declaration of the condition of the property. Most sellers are not experts and do not feel equipped to do this. Many sellers prefer the peace-of-mind of a 3rd party independent inspection.

Mandatory Sellers Declaration

The Snag Defects Report

If you are buying a newly-built or renovated property this is your best option. Developers use this product as well.

10 Year Maintenance Reports

In terms of the Sectional Title Management Act, body corporates must budget upfront for a 10- year maintenance plan. The HouseCheck MAP (Maintenance Action Plan) helps trustees obey the law and plan responsibly.
