Property Inspection Services Melbourne

Found your dream property in one of the many beautiful suburbs of Melbourne and getting everything ready for auction day but are you confident that the property is in as good a condition as it looks?

For peace of mind it is really worthwhile to have a building inspection undertaken. This is especially true as the seller is under no obligation to let you know about any structural defects the property may have.

That is why a pre purchase building inspection is essential to avoid unexpected repair costs when you purchase your dream property.

Best of all we specialise in providing both building and pest inspections to all suburbs of Melbourne. From St Kilda to Sandringham, Beaumaris to Brighton, and Elwood to Cheltenham.

What is a Pre purchase property Inspection Report?

It is a report that states anything from major structural defects (eg cracked walls)  to smaller defects (eg leaking taps).

Our pre purchase property report is designed in an easy to read format – so you have the peace of mind that you are not exposed to any unexpected costs relating to your new home.

It is important to remember that just because a house looks great doesn’t mean that all is ok. A lot of defects are hidden.

Even worse, some owners actually try to cover up defects by repainting walls or even locking rooms so you can’t do a full inspection. Don’t worry we are aware of all the tactics used and will uncover any defects being hidden.

Within 24 hours (or even soon if required) you will receive a detailed property inspection report with photos outlining any issues with the property.

Remember: 50% Off Your Next Pre Purchase property Inspection If You Miss Out At Auction

What is a Pre Purchase Building Inspection?

A pre purchase building 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!

Melbourne Pre Purchase Pest Inspections

It is not commonly known that you only need 2mm for common timber pests (such as termites) to gain access to a property and start causing damage. It is also not commonly known that your home insurance is unlikely to cover the cost of repairing your home if you discover after purchase that you are infested with termites.

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

Within 24 hours (or even soon if required) you will receive a detailed report with photos outlining any issues with the Melbourne property you are thinking of purchasing. The following are the areas we inspect when we perform a pest inspection:

  • Roof void
  • Interior of building
  • Exterior of building
  • Sub floor area

All pest inspections comply with Australian Standard 4349.3 and will identify any evidence of timber pests (including termites) as well as other pests – such as rodents. We will also report on conditions in the Melbourne property that could cause an infestation of pests in the future.

Melbourne Pre Purchase Building & Pest Inspections

If you want complete peace of mind before you make the decision to buy your Melbourne property, then we recommend both a building and pest inspection. This is especially true as building defects can lead to pest infestations. Remember that it only takes 2mm for common timber pests (such as termites) to gain access to a property and start causing damage – damage that is unlikely to be covered by your home insurance if the property was infested by pests prior to purchase.

All Checked Out specialise in providing combined building and pest inspections in all suburbs of Melbourne – so you can be sure that you will get a report that highlights all the issues the Melbourne property you are thinking of buying.
