BALI SERVICE
Pre-Purchase Property Inspection
A visual and functional building review to understand defects and likely repair needs before a transaction decision.
FIELD CONTEXT
See the relevant conditions, process and control points.
Images clarify the scope of discussion. Final conditions and methods still follow the survey, documents and actual engagement boundaries.
Findings should have a location, evidence, reference, priority, owner and rectification status.
A defect list should connect location, evidence, priority, owner, target, verification and outstanding items.
Good maintenance separates preventive, corrective, emergency and capital-repair actions.
SERVICE FIT
When to choose Pre-Purchase Property Inspection?
An inspection helps a buyer understand visible conditions on the visit date and decide further reviews. Scope should separate visual observations, agreed tests, inaccessible areas, missing records and matters requiring specialists.
- Buyers needing a condition baseline before a transaction
- A villa or home has unclear renovation, leak or maintenance history
- An operating building requires inspection with limited access
- Findings will support questions, negotiation or specialist review
DECISION PURPOSE
Start with the decision that needs to be made.
Findings are classified by condition, location, evidence, potential impact, urgency and follow-up. The report is not a defect-free certificate and does not conclude on structure, legal matters or concealed systems without suitable review.
Final scope is set after understanding the location, project stage, documents, involved parties, timeline and reporting needs.
Visible structure, roof, cracks and moisture
Finishes, plumbing, electrical, AC and pool
Defect list and documentation
Preliminary renovation scope
RISKS TO MAP
Items to understand before moving forward.
This is not an automatic conclusion. Each item should be tested against documents, actual conditions and agreed responsibilities.
Concealed or operating areas cannot be accessed during inspection
Cosmetic symptoms hide possible water or movement issues
Equipment is operated without suitable procedure, permission or conditions
The buyer treats a visual inspection as replacing all specialist tests

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Questions before requesting the service.
These answers help prepare the initial information. Price, schedule and availability are confirmed against the actual location and scope.
Does the inspection cover structure?
Visual review may record symptoms, but structural capacity, safety, design or calculations require a competent authorised engineer.
Are all MEP systems and equipment tested?
Only agreed, safe, available, accessible and permitted functions. Commissioning or specialist tests require suitable procedures and parties.
Can the report support negotiation?
It provides condition information and questions. Transaction strategy, valuation, legal and commercial decisions remain with the buyer and advisers.
