Foundations
Can a foundation be assessed as part of a pre-purchase building inspection?
Yes — a standard pre-purchase building inspection genuinely covers visible foundation indicators (cracking, level, drainage), though it’s not a full structural engineering assessment.
If a standard inspection flags a genuine concern, engaging a structural engineer for a dedicated foundation assessment before proceeding is worth the extra cost on a significant purchase.
