Pre-Sale Building Inspection | Safe living Inspections
Service features
Sell from a Position of Strength, Not Surprise.
Control the narrative of your sale. A pre-sale building inspection from Safe Living Inspections gives you a clear, honest assessment of your property’s condition before it hits the market. Instead of leaving critical discoveries to the buyer’s inspector, you get the facts first. This allows you to address issues proactively, justify your asking price with transparency, and streamline the negotiation process for a faster, smoother sale.
Uncover Deal-Breakers Early
Identify significant issues on your own terms. This gives you the opportunity to make repairs beforehand or adjust your pricing strategy accordingly, preventing nasty surprises that could derail a sale later.
Build Buyer Confidence & Justify Your Price
Presenting a recent independent inspection report demonstrates incredible transparency and builds immediate trust with potential buyers. It shows you are a conscientious seller and reinforces the value of your asking price.
Streamline Negotiations and Minimise Price Chipping
By addressing problems upfront, you effectively disarm the buyer's primary negotiation tool. This significantly reduces the likelihood of last-minute price reductions or demands for repairs after the contract is signed.
Attract Serious Buyers
A transparent approach with a pre-sale report attracts confident, serious buyers and can often lead to a faster sale. It filters out those looking for a bargain based on hidden defects and appeals to buyers seeking a hassle-free purchase.

Why would I go looking for problems before I sell?
It’s not about finding problems; it’s about finding opportunities. Knowing your property’s condition is powerful. It allows you to fix issues, which often increases buyer appeal more than the cost of the repair, or to price and market the property accurately from the start, avoiding deal-breaking surprises later.
Won't this just give buyers a reason to offer less?
Actually, the opposite is true. Transparency builds trust. When you disclose everything upfront, a buyer feels more secure and is less likely to lowball you based on fears of the unknown. It takes the ammunition away from their negotiations and positions you as an honest seller.
Can I show the report to potential buyers?
Absolutely. In fact, we encourage it. We provide a clear, professional Summary Report that highlights the property’s condition without unnecessary alarmism. Your real estate agent can use it as a powerful marketing tool to build confidence and justify the asking price.
What if the inspection finds a major issue?
This is the best time to find it—while you are still in control. You can then choose to repair it (often for less than a buyer would demand in a price reduction), adjust your price to reflect it, or simply be upfront about it from the beginning to attract buyers who are comfortable with the property as-is.
How is this different from the inspection the buyer will get?
It’s not different in its thoroughness, but it is entirely different in its purpose. Their inspection is for their benefit. Ours is for yours. It gives you the home-field advantage, allowing you to see what they will see and plan your strategy accordingly, turning a defensive process into an offensive one.
