FREE CHECKLIST · PRE-SETTLEMENT INSPECTION

You're entitled to inspect before settlement. Know what to look for.

Damage, missing fixtures, and fittings that don't match what you signed for, all things a pre-settlement inspection is designed to catch, if you know what you're looking at.

Pre-Settlement Inspection Checklist

Unconditional doesn't mean unchecked.

Most buyers don't realise a pre-settlement inspection is their right, not a formality. It's your last chance to confirm the property matches what you signed up for, no new damage, and every fixture and fitting still in place. Miss it, and there's often no recourse once settlement happens.

What the checklist covers

01

Structural & damage points

What to check for new damage since your last inspection

02

Fixtures & fittings

Confirming everything included in the contract is still there

03

What to do if something's wrong
