Arranging a pre-auction inspection is an important step when considering a property in Highett before auction. Even homes that appear well-maintained can sometimes have hidden issues, and with auction conditions usually unconditional, there’s no chance to address problems after the sale. At All Checked Out, we offer professional Pre-Auction Building Inspections across Melbourne’s South East, giving buyers the confidence and clarity they need before placing a bid.
Luke, our lead inspector, is a Registered Builder accredited by the Building Commission of Victoria (Licence no: DB-U 44801). Every inspection is carried out in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007, providing a thorough and reliable assessment so you can approach auction day with peace of mind.
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!
