Pricing guide
The cost of a dilapidation report typically depends on the inspection scope and the level of report detail required. External-only inspections are usually less involved than internal or council-grade reports, which often need higher-resolution photos, more annotations and extra compilation time. Travel or call‑out fees and after-hours attendance can also affect the final cost.
Inspection scope (external vs internal)
External-only inspections are typically simpler than inspections that include internal rooms, ceilings and internal access.
Report detail and resolution
High-resolution, council-grade reports with extensive annotations, sketches or evidentiary standards usually require more time to compile.
Property size and complexity
Larger properties or complex site features generally increase inspection time and the number of photographs or notes needed.
Specialist consultants or testing
Structural engineer certification or any invasive testing is generally not included and will add to the scope if requested.
Timing, travel and call‑out fees
Call‑out fees, travel distance and after‑hours attendance typically affect the total and may vary by region.
