From building condition report to purchase decision

A building report is most useful when its findings change the questions you ask and the budget you prepare. Work from the scope of the assessment through to the decisions that remain before closing.

Start with the decision in front of you

Exploring a purchase

Begin with why you want to buy. Compare ownership with your alternatives, plan the budget and ownership structure, then shortlist properties. Once a property fits, work through the offer, due diligence and closing. The ownership steps explain what to do after you receive the keys.

Considering selling or a change of ownership

Begin with the outcome you want. Compare selling with retaining and leasing or other relevant options, then review the costs and after-tax outcome. If selling is the right route, move through preparation, pricing, marketing, offers and handover in order.

Already settled into ownership

Use the ownership section to organise occupation, regular maintenance and improvements. Return to the exit pathway when your needs change.

The full property journey

  1. Plan: clarify your purpose, ownership structure, tax considerations, budget and eventual exit.
  2. Investigate: compare locations, property suitability and due diligence findings.
  3. Complete: prepare financing, documents, possession and handover.
  4. Own: operate the space, maintain records and assess improvements.
  5. Exit: compare your options, review the after-tax outcome and prepare the transition.

These guides explain the process without promising a fixed timeline, sale price or investment return. Property-specific decisions need current evidence and the appropriate professional advice.
