Pre-Sale Building & Pest Inspections Gold Coast
PREPARE YOUR PROPERTY BEFORE GOING TO MARKET
Selling a property involves careful preparation. A pre-sale building and pest inspection allows you to understand the condition of your home before a buyer conducts their own inspection.
This provides greater control, reduces uncertainty, and helps avoid last-minute surprises during negotiations.
Every inspection is personally completed by licensed builder and dual-licensed building and pest inspector Shane Macfarlane.
WHY CONSIDER A PRE-SALE INSPECTION?
Many property sales are delayed or renegotiated after issues are identified during a buyer’s inspection.
By arranging your own pre-sale building and pest inspection, you can:
✓ Identify structural or maintenance issues early
✓ Address defects before listing
✓ Provide transparency to potential buyers
✓ Reduce the risk of price reductions
✓ Improve confidence during negotiations
Understanding the condition of your property before it goes to market allows you to prepare strategically rather than react under pressure.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A PRE-SALE BUILDING & PEST INSPECTION
Your pre-sale inspection includes a comprehensive building and pest assessment of the property’s current condition, covering structural components, roofing, subfloor (where accessible), internal and external areas, termite activity, and moisture-related issues.
You’ll receive a clear report categorising major defects, minor defects, and maintenance items, supported by photographic evidence and written in plain English.

A pre-sale inspection can assist you to:
✓ Rectify issues before listing
✓ Disclose findings transparently
✓ Avoid contract delays
✓ Reduce the likelihood of unexpected negotiations
