What is a Pre-auction Building Inspection

By having pre-auction building inspection you get an easy to read report on a home’s potential problem. 

So if you are thinking of buying a home in Melbourne auction then it is important to have one done to make sure you are ready for auction day.

This is extra important as most auctions are not conditional on getting a building inspection. This means once you have made the winning bid it is too late to back out. 

To make things worse it is also unlikely your insurance will cover unexpected repair costs.

What we check

The types of things we look for when we do a pre auction building inspection includes things like structural soundness, electrical, plumbing, cracks in the walls, roof leaks, and safety issues. The report also mentions any unauthorised changes. 

At All Checked Out we have many years of experience in uncovering issues – even when attempts have been made to cover them up.
