“When you’re buying from interstate, you’re buying blind. Every photo the agent sends you is the good angle. My job is to show you the angles nobody sends β the roof cavity, the subfloor, the wet areas, the crack behind the furniture. I inspect every interstate property like it’s my own money going on the contract.”

Why Settle for Second-Best?
Why an Interstate Inspection Is Different
Local buyers walk through the home before they make an offer. You don’t get that chance. You’re relying on listing photos, an agent working for the seller, and maybe a five-minute FaceTime from a friend of a friend.
That’s why we built a dedicated interstate service instead of just doing a normal inspection and emailing you a PDF.
We're your eyes on the ground.
A licensed builder physically walks every part of the property β roof cavity, subfloor, wet areas, external structure β and documents everything the listing photos don’t show you.
You attend the inspection live.
We video call you during the inspection itself. Ask questions in real time. Ever taken a call from inside a roof cavity? Our interstate buyers do it every week.
A report written for someone who's never seen the house.
More photos, more commentary, and plain-English guidance on what each defect actually means for your wallet β now and down the track.

WHAT YOU GET IN YOUR REPORT
A Report Built for Buyers Who Can’t Be There
Every interstate house inspection report is broken into plain-English sections, ordered by what matters most: safety issues first, then major defects, then minor defects and maintenance, finished with a comparative summary of the property’s overall condition.
Every finding is attached to clear photos, and because you can’t drive past the property yourself, we add extra commentary on what each defect means in dollars β what needs fixing now, what’s coming in five years, and what’s just normal wear. If you’ve chosen the Advanced inspection, your report also includes a dedicated thermal imaging section showing exactly where hidden moisture or heat anomalies were detected.
The inspection is carried out to Australian Standards (AS 4349.1 for building, AS 4349.3 for timber pests), which means the report is recognised by solicitors and real estate agents. If your contract has an inspection clause, this report is the evidence you and your solicitor need to renegotiate or walk away.
And it doesn’t end when the report lands in your inbox. Your inspector β the actual builder who walked the property β calls you to talk through the findings until you’re confident in your decision.
Building a New Home in Perth From Interstate?
Plenty of interstate buyers aren’t buying established homes β they’re building. And if you think it’s hard to trust a listing you’ve never seen, try trusting a builder you’ve never met, on a site you can’t visit.
We inspect at every critical stage of your build β slab, plate height, roof, lockup, practical completion β and video call you from site so you watch your home come together as if you were standing on the block. Our inspectors are licensed builders, so we know exactly which shortcuts to look for and how to hold your builder to the National Construction Code and Australian Standards.
Book a stage inspection at each milestone, and finish with a PCI inspection before handover so you never sign off on defects you couldn’t see from three time zones away.

How much does an interstate house inspection in Perth cost?

What's the difference between the Standard and Advanced interstate inspection?
Both include everything an interstate buyer needs β the full building and pest inspection to Australian Standards, the live video walkthrough, the expanded photo report and the consultation call. The Advanced inspection adds a complete thermographic scan of the property, detecting hidden moisture, active leaks and termite heat signatures behind walls, ceilings and showers β defects that are completely invisible to any visual inspection.

How can you inspect a house I've never seen?
That’s exactly what our service is built for. A licensed builder physically inspects every accessible part of the property, and video calls you live during the inspection so you can see the property and ask questions in real time.
