What to know about Building inspectors
Buying a house in Australia is one of the few large purchases where the seller owes you almost nothing about the condition of what you are buying. A building inspection is how a buyer closes that gap, and the New South Wales guidance describes the product plainly: a written account of the property's condition that identifies significant building defects or problems such as rising damp, movement in the walls, safety hazards or a faulty roof.

How to choose home inspectors in Benowa
- Match the professional to the job: an architect or engineer where the work requires one, a designer for layout and finishes, or an inspector for a condition report.
- Ask whether they are licensed or certified for this type of work in your area, where that applies.
- Review a portfolio or sample report that's similar to your project.
- Get a written agreement that spells out the services, deliverables, number of revisions and how fees are charged.
- Ask whether their drawings will be suitable for a permit application, and whether they'll help with it.
Questions to ask home inspectors before you hire
- Are you licensed or certified for this type of work in my area?
- What exactly will you deliver: drawings, specifications, a report or site visits?
- How are your fees charged: a fixed fee, hourly or based on the project cost?
- How many rounds of revisions are included?
- Will your drawings be ready for a permit application, and will you submit it?
- Can I see a sample of a similar project or report?
- Do you carry professional liability insurance?
Home inspection permits in Queensland
Some home inspection work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common home inspection questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
