A pre-purchase mould inspection helps identify mould growth, moisture issues, and environmental conditions that may lead to future contamination. Our Sydney pre-purchase inspections provide clear findings to support informed buying decisions and reduce the risk of unexpected mould remediation costs after settlement.

Pre-purchase mould inspections are commonly requested in Sydney due to coastal humidity, seasonal rainfall, and properties that have been closed up between tenancies or holiday use. We frequently inspect homes where mould risk isn’t obvious during a standard building inspection, particularly where moisture may be hidden in roof cavities, subfloors, or poorly ventilated coastal areas.

When Is a Pre-Purchase Mould Inspection Recommended

The property has visible mould, staining, or musty odours during viewings
Bathrooms, laundries, or poorly ventilated rooms show dampness or condensation
The home has been closed up for long periods (vacant, holiday home, tenant turnover)
There are signs of past water damage (patch repairs, warped trims, bubbling paint)
You want risk clarity before settlement to avoid unexpected remediation costs
