Purchasing a home is a significant investment, making a thorough pre-auction property inspection an essential step before you bid. All Checked Out specialises in Pre-Auction Building Inspections in Glen Iris, bringing over a decade of experience delivering detailed and reliable inspection services across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. This depth of local knowledge allows us to identify a wide range of potential building issues that may not be immediately visible during a standard inspection.
Luke, our principal property inspector, is a Registered Builder with the Building Commission of Victoria (Licence No: DB-U 44801). Every Pre-Auction Building Inspection is carried out in accordance with the Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007, ensuring each inspection meets strict industry standards for quality, consistency, and compliance.
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.

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!

If you want complete peace of mind before you make the decision to buy your Glen Iris 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 Glen Iris 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!

Yes. We provide comprehensive pre-auction building and pest inspections in Glen Iris and across Melbourne’s inner eastern suburbs. If you’re preparing to bid at auction, we help you understand the true condition of the property before auction day.
At auction, contracts are unconditional, meaning there’s no cooling-off period once the hammer falls. A pre-auction inspection helps identify structural issues, hidden defects, or pest activity before you bid, reducing the risk of unexpected repair costs after settlement.
Glen Iris features a strong mix of character homes, post-war residences, and extensively renovated properties. Many homes have been extended or remodelled over time, which can sometimes conceal older structures behind modern finishes. This makes detailed pre-auction inspections particularly important in the area.
Luke, owner of All Checked Out, has over 10 years of building industry experience and is a Registered Builder with the Victorian Building Authority (Licence DB-U 44801). All inspections are personally carried out by Luke to ensure consistency and a high standard of reporting.

Glen Iris is a highly sought-after inner-eastern Melbourne suburb known for its established family homes, quiet tree-lined streets, and an appealing blend of period character residences, carefully renovated properties, and modern architectural builds.
Its strong school catchments, access to parklands and creek-side trails, and excellent transport connections via train, tram, and major arterials make it a consistently in-demand location for buyers. With many homes having been extended or updated over time, detailed pre-auction building inspections are especially important for identifying hidden structural alterations, maintenance concerns, or defects that may not be immediately visible during a standard viewing.
