A pre-purchase building inspection is a comprehensive evaluation of a property's condition by a qualified professional building inspector in Melbourne. Backed by over 18 years of industry experience, our inspection assesses everything from the foundation to the roof, electrical and plumbing systems, and more. Getting a pre-purchase inspection protects you from unexpected and expensive surprises down the line. With a detailed building inspection report in hand, you can confidently negotiate repairs with the seller or walk away if the property has serious defects. Uncovering structural defects is one of the primary functions of our comprehensive property inspection. The building inspector will systematically examine the exterior grounds, structure, and outbuildings, before moving indoors to check each room from top to bottom. We thoroughly examine the foundation, framing, load-bearing walls, and pillars for any signs of cracking, settling, or dry rot. Even seemingly minor issues like a cracked lintel could indicate much larger problems. To assist in finding hidden issues, we use advanced tools like drone photography for roofs and chimneys, and thermal imaging cameras to detect air leaks, moisture intrusion, and electrical hotspots. Buyers are encouraged to attend the inspection to see issues firsthand. Once finished, the inspector documents every finding in a detailed, multimedia-rich report, delivered within 3-5 business days, complete with photos and maintenance advice.
