Combined Pre auction Building & Pest Inspection Services Melbourne

If you want complete peace of mind before you make the decision to buy your home in Melbourne at auction, then we recommend a combined building and pest inspection. This is especially true as building defects can lead to pest infestations.

It is the only way that you are assured of not getting unexpected repair costs after you purchase at auction. This is especially true as the seller is not required to let you know about any structural defects that the property may have. Also, you can’t assume that your home insurance will cover the cost of repairs – as often they won’t.

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

Why it's Important to Have a Combined Pre Auction Building and Pest Inspection

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

By having both inspections done you get the most comprehensive condition report available. As All Checked Out specialise in providing combined building and pest inspections in Melbourne you are sure that you’ll get a report that highlights all the issues the property you are thinking of buying.

In addition, as we do both the building inspection at the same time as the pest inspection we provide a discount compared to when the inspections are done separately. As a result you even save money!

What is a Combined Pre Auction Building and Pest Inspection?

A combined pre auction Building and Pest inspection provides a detailed, easy to read report. It tells you about the major faults a home has, as well as evidence of pests. This includes damage already caused by pests – including termites. The faults highlighted include any cracking walls, rising damp, leaking roofs and safety hazards. In addition, it also highlights any unauthorised works.

It is recommended by Consumers Affairs Victoria that you engage a qualified building inspector. This is to ensure that all faults in a home are uncovered. In addition, it will help uncover where attempts have even been made to cover faults up!
