BUILDING INSPECTIONS FRANKSTON

Found a property you love in Frankston and preparing to make an offer or bid at auction? While a home may look perfect during a viewing, important issues can sometimes remain hidden without a professional inspection.

As the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula, Frankston is a popular location for families, first home buyers and investors looking for a balance of coastal lifestyle and convenient Melbourne access. With a mix of established homes, renovated properties and newer developments, a pre purchase building inspection can help you understand the true condition of the property before you commit.

Why it's Important to Have a Pre Purchase Building Inspection

Most people don’t realise that the seller is under no obligation to disclose any structural defects the house may have.

That is why a pre purchase building inspection is crucial. It helps you avoid unexpected repair costs when buying your dream property in the Melbourne suburb of Frankston.

All our Frankston pre purchase building inspections meet the Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007. This ensures we have the skills and expertise to uncover the worst and most costly damage a property can have. We will even uncover damage where attempts have been made to cover it up!

Pre Purchase Pest Inspections in franskton

Timber pests, like termites, can enter a property through gaps as small as 2mm, causing serious damage before many homeowners even realise there’s a problem. In addition, home insurance often does not cover the cost of repairs if an infestation is discovered after purchase.

That’s why All Checked Out specialises in pre-purchase pest inspections in Bonbeach. Our inspections cover all types of timber pests, including termites, borers, and fungal decay. Each inspection is accompanied by a detailed report, ensuring you are fully informed before making the important decision to purchase a property in the Melbourne suburb of Bonbeach.

Pre Purchase Building & Pest Inspections in frankston

If you want complete peace of mind before you make the decision to buy, then we recommend both a building and pest inspection. This is especially true as building defects can often lead to pest infestations.

Remember that it only takes 2mm for common timber pests (such as termites) to gain access to a property and start causing damage – damage that is unlikely to be covered by your home insurance if the property was infested by pests prior to purchase.

All Checked Out specialise in providing combined building and pest inspections in the Melbourne suburb of Bonbeach. This means you are sure to get a report that highlights ALL the issues the property you are thinking of buying.
