Building Inspection

24-Hour Report Turnaround

South West House Inspections provides comprehensive pre-purchase building inspections across South West Victoria, including Warrnambool, Port Fairy, Portland, and surrounding areas. Designed to give clients a detailed picture of a property's state, these inspections enable informed negotiations on remedies or price. Conducted in accordance with Australian Standard AS4349.1-2007, the visual inspection covers all accessible areas to determine the presence of major and minor structural and non-structural defects, as well as safety hazards. The thorough internal assessment includes ceilings and walls for cracks or dampness; floors for movement or squeakiness; doors and windows; and wet areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries for moisture levels, mould, and ventilation. The roof cavity is checked for insulation, framing, and leaks. Externally, the inspection covers subfloor dampness, stumps, bearers, joists, external cladding, guttering, fencing, and drainage. The condition of hot water services, water tanks, and roof materials is also evaluated, along with recommendations for upgrading electrical and plumbing if necessary. We handle the entire process, promptly liaising with sales agents, owners, or tenants to book a suitable time. Clients receive a modern, easy-to-read 30-40 page report containing plenty of photos within 24 hours of the inspection, followed by a phone call to discuss relevant details and answer any questions.

Timber Pest Inspection

24-Hour Report Turnaround Thermal Imaging

South West House Inspections offers dedicated timber pest inspections to uncover hidden pest activity that is not always obvious to the untrained eye. Because property is a high-value asset, whether the property is old or new, it is not worth the risk of not getting a detailed and comprehensive inspection. It is crucial to get a professional to check your biggest asset with a fine-tooth comb before it is too late. To ensure the highest level of accuracy, we work alongside a specialist in termite detection. This inspection utilizes expensive but essential advanced equipment, including a thermal imaging camera and radar movement tracking technology, to accurately detect termite activity and assess the property for timber pests. This thorough evaluation helps protect your property by identifying potential pest issues before they cause significant damage. We make the process seamless by promptly liaising with sales agents, owners, and tenants to book a suitable inspection time. Following the site visit, clients are provided with a detailed, easy-to-read report within 24 hours, complete with photographic evidence to ensure complete transparency. Once the inspection is completed, we follow up with a phone call to discuss the relevant details and remain available to answer any questions you might have, providing complete peace of mind.

Pool Safety Barrier Inspection

24-Hour Report Turnaround

South West House Inspections provides mandatory pool safety barrier inspections to help pool owners meet recent legislative requirements. A pool barrier compliance certificate (Form 23) is now mandatory for all pool owners, and a copy must be supplied to your local council in accordance with recent legislation. Because this inspection is highly specific, only a trained and registered building inspector can perform it. Our registered pool inspector will visit your property to thoroughly assess the pool barrier against the specific safety legislation relevant to the age of your pool and barrier. Following the initial inspection, you will be provided with a detailed summary of any areas that need to be fixed or amended in order to comply. It is then your responsibility as the owner to attend to these items before booking our revisit. Once the necessary rectifications are completed and the pool barrier is deemed compliant during the revisit, a Form 23 certificate of compliance is provided to you, which you can then forward to your local council. This rigorous process ensures your pool area is safe, secure, and legally compliant with all current regulations. Contact us for further information or to book your initial inspection today.

Very professional and friendly. A pleasant experience.

Brendan has been truly great provided very thorough pre-purchase inspections and engaging for pest ones too! We’ve entered into two purchases where his report has saved us in the high hundred thousands on repairs (and literally having to knock down and rebuild due to termite damage). I’ve had inspections in other states in the past and Brendan’s work has been far superior and at really affordable prices too. There are plenty of good reviews here which should say a lot, but I want to add another!

Brendan's done an amazing job organising a couple building inspections for my wife & I. Really happy to support a great local small business.
