Booking a Pre-Auction Inspection is a crucial step when considering a property in Murrumbeena before auction. With its mix of charming post-war homes and modern townhouses, it’s important to know the property’s condition upfront. At All Checked Out, we provide professional Pre-Auction Building Inspections across Melbourne’s South East, helping you bid with confidence.
Luke, our lead inspector, is a Registered Builder accredited by the Building Commission of Victoria (Licence no: DB-U 44801). Every inspection follows Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007, ensuring a comprehensive report that highlights any hidden issues before auction day.
Pre auction building inspections are the same as a pre purchase building inspection. The only difference is that with a pre auction inspection you need to get your report completed before auction day.
This is due to the fact that most auctions are NOT usually conditional upon you obtaining a satisfactory building and pest inspection report. Once you have made the winning bid, it’s already too late. You may end up stuck with a property with lots of problems. This will lead to lots of unexpected repairs. Even worse, the seller is not obligated to let you know about any structural defects the property might have.
If you engage All Checked Out, you are guaranteed that you will receive a strictly independent building inspection report that is easy to read. This means you are fully informed about the condition of the property before you decide to bid at auction.
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!
