Pre Auction Building Inspections Elwood

Add Pre-Auction Inspections to your property auction plan. As buying a new home is an important investment it is essential that you get it thoroughly checked over before buying. All Checked Out specialises in Pre Auction Building Inspections in the suburb of Elwood in Melbourne. In fact, we have been providing reliable pre auction building inspections in Elwood for over 10 years. All of this means we have the skills and experience to uncover all issues with a property.

Luke, the principal property inspector is a Registered Builder with the Building Commission of Victoria (Licence no: DB-U 44801). All our Pre Auction Building Inspections meet the Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007. This means you know that all of our building inspections are done to the highest standard.

Why Do you Need a Pre Auction Inspection?

 Pre Auction Inspections need to be completed before the auction day, as compared to pre purchase building inspections.

This is because most auctions are NOT conditional upon you obtaining a satisfactory building and pest inspection. Purchasing your property at an auction, means you have bought the property – no matter what condition you find it in. Even worse, most buyers are not aware that the seller is under no obligation to let you know about any structural defects the property may have.

Having All Checked Out perform a pre auction building inspection, you are assured that you will receive a strictly independent building inspection report.  This means you are fully aware of the condition of the property prior to negotiating the price or bidding on the property.

With reports starting from a low $450 (inc GST), it is well worth it for your peace of mind.

REMEMBER: 50% OFF YOUR NEXT PRE AUCTION BUILDING INSPECTION IF YOU MISS OUT AT AUCTION

What is a Pre Auction Building Inspection?

A pre purchase auction inspection provides a detailed, easy to read report, that tells you about the major faults a home has. This includes any cracking walls, rising damp, leaking roofs and safety hazards. The report will also highlight any unauthorised work, as well as whether the faults can be fixed.

It is recommended by Consumers Affairs Victoria that you consider engaging a qualified building inspector to make sure all faults are found. This includes one where attempts have been made to cover them up!

What is a Pre Auction Pest Inspection Elwood?

It is not commonly known that you only need 2mm for common timber pests (such as termites) to gain access to a property. This is all it takes for pests to cause extensive damage.  Even worse, most people don’t know that their home insurance is limited in such circumstances.

This is because it is unlikely your insurance will cover the cost of repairing your Elwood home if pests were present, before being purchased at auction. As a result, it is essential that a pre auction pest inspection is undertaken before you buy.

That is why we specialise in providing pre auction pest inspections for the Elwood suburb of Melbourne. When All Checked Out provide pre auction pest inspections our reports are on all types of pests. Types of common pests include termites, borers and fungal decay. This way you are fully informed before you make the decision to buy your property in Elwood at auction.

Pre Auction Pest Inspections Elwood Checklist

The following are the areas that we check when we do our Elwood pest inspection. These are the areas where a pest infestation is most likely:

Inside the Home

  • Check for mould in wet areas
  • Check for any leaks
  • Use thermal imaging
  • Check skirting boards, doors and window frames

Roof Void

  • Check inside of roof for signs of pests

Pre Auction Building & Pest Inspection Elwood

If you want complete peace of mind before you make the decision to buy your Elwood property 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 Elwood 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, save money!
