Pre-purchase asbestos inspections, explained
Buying a property in Adelaide? A targeted asbestos inspection sits between a building inspection and a full survey — and can save you tens of thousands.
Pre-purchase asbestos inspections are non-intrusive: a licensed assessor visits the property, identifies suspect materials, and provides a report on likely locations and condition.
They sit between a standard building inspection (which doesn't specifically address asbestos) and a full intrusive survey (required before demolition or major works).
For most residential buyers in Adelaide, the pre-purchase report is enough to make an informed decision and to budget for any future remediation.
Reports are typically delivered within 48 hours — well within standard cooling-off periods.
