Pre Auction Building Inspections Mentone
Opting for a Pre-Auction Inspection is a smart choice to safeguard the investment in your new home purchase. At All Checked Out, we specialise in Pre-Auction Building Inspections in Mentone, one of Melbourne’s south eastern suburbs. With over a decade of experience, our independent inspections in Mentone are designed to uncover any potential issues a property may have.
Luke, our principal property inspector, is a Registered Builder, accredited by the Building Commission of Victoria (Licence no: DB-U 44801). All our Pre-Auction Building Inspections comply with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007 , ensuring they are carried out to the highest standards.
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 eceive 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 Mentone?
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 Mentone 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 Mentone 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 Mentone at auction.
