Pre-Listing Inspection Reports
Why invest in pre-listing inspection reports?
When it comes to selling your home, first impressions count. With real estate prices at a high, buyers are being cautious and often aren’t willing to take the risk if they spot a red flag.
Pre-listing inspection reports help you get ahead of the ball by identifying potential issues before your property hits the market. This gives you time to fix problems in advance, removing barriers to interest and setting your property up for a smoother sale.
By sharing your finalised pre-listing inspection report in your property information pack, you provide transparency and reassure potential buyers from the outset, reducing the likelihood of ifs, buts and maybes in the negotiation process.
BuildQual provides pre-listing inspection reports designed to make home-buying easier. We also service clients in Kaiapoi, Rangiora, Rolleston, Lincoln and other areas of Canterbury.
What does a pre-listing inspection cover?
A pre-listing inspection report covers all the same areas as a buyer’s report. By commissioning a report before buyers come knocking, you’ll have an understanding of potential problems that the buyer’s inspector might find, giving you the opportunity to address them proactively.
When you arrange an inspection through BuildQual, one of our independent contractors will assess the entire property, working through a detailed checklist compliant with NZS4306:2005. Depending on the property, the report may cover:
Moisture readings
Any signs of dampness or potential water ingress.
Floor levels
Uneven floors that may indicate foundation issues.*
Maintenance areas
Parts of the home that may need future attention.
External features
Visible issues on guttering, fences, paths, and driveways.
Minor defects
Cosmetic or minor issues that may need addressing.
Compliance to code
Ensuring relevant New Zealand building codes are met.
Structural integrity
Visual signs of damage, movement or weakness.
* If a full survey is required, we can use state-of-the-art Zip Pro 2000 floor-level equipment. Additional charge applies.
Our pre-listing property inspection reports include clear descriptions, photographs, and a ‘snapshot’ of the property’s condition at the time of inspection. If you complete repairs or upgrades, the report can be updated with a follow-up inspection, so the final report is representative of any work you’ve done.
