Inspection enquiries for buyers, sellers and property owners
Septic inspections are commonly requested before buying a rural property, preparing a property for sale, checking an older system, managing a rental or investigating possible wastewater issues. An inspection enquiry should make clear whether the property is occupied, vacant, listed for sale or under contract.
Useful details include the property town, type of system if known, age of the home, any known odours or drainage issues, whether the tank lid is accessible and whether a written report is required. If the enquiry relates to a property purchase, include important dates such as contract conditions or inspection deadlines.
What to confirm before booking
Confirm what the inspection includes, whether reporting is provided, whether council records are needed, what access is required and whether the provider is suitably qualified and insured for the inspection requested.
