Pre-Purchase Inspections

Pre-Purchase Inspections

A pre-purchase building inspection in Melbourne North West thoroughly examines key aspects of a property to assess its condition and uncover potential issues:

Our pre-purchase building inspection in Melbourne follows AS4349.1-2007 standards, providing a detailed report on the property's condition at the time of inspection. The report covers the interior, roof void, exterior, subfloor, and roof exterior, helping potential buyers assess any issues before purchasing. Experienced builders conduct a thorough visual inspection to identify any defects or faults, offering valuable advice before you negotiate a price or place a bid. The digital report, complete with images and a defect summary, is emailed or posted within 24 hours of the inspection, including a severity rating for each issue. Following are some areas covered but not limited to in the report

• Foundation & Structure: Checks for cracks or weaknesses that may affect stability.

• External Water Ingress: Inspect the roof, walls, and doors for leaks or moisture damage.

• Internal Wet Areas: Look for water damage, leaks, and mould in bathrooms and other wet zones.

• Site Drainage: Evaluate drainage to prevent water-related foundation issues and pest attraction.

• Safety Hazards: Identifies tripping or falling hazards, such as uneven floors or unstable handrails.

  Additional maintenance concerns are also noted. This inspection benefits homebuyers, investors, and agents by identifying hidden defects, providing negotiation leverage, ensuring safety, and helping with future maintenance planning.
