What is Pre-
Purchase Building
Inspection

A pre-purchase inspection is a thorough assessment of a property’s condition, carried out before you commit to buying. It uncovers any hidden issues such as structural damage, defects, or maintenance concerns that could impact your investment. During the inspection, all key areas of the property — from the foundation to the roof — are carefully examined. The goal is to provide you with a clear, detailed understanding of the property’s true state, helping you negotiate better, avoid costly surprises, and move forward with confidence in your purchase.

Inspection Covers for Melbourne
Buildings

Structural Assessment

We carefully inspect key structural elements like the foundation, walls, floors, and roof for any signs of cracks, instability, or damage that could compromise the building’s safety or long-term value.By identifying structural concerns early, you can avoid unexpected and costly repairs down the track.

Roof and Gutter Evaluation

Our team checks the condition of roofing materials, gutters, flashing, and drainage systems to detect leaks, wear, or deterioration that may lead to costly repairs. Ensuring the roof and gutters are sound protects your property from water damage and future maintenance headaches.

Plumbing Inspection

We assess visible plumbing components for leaks, blockages, rust, or water pressure issues, giving you a clear understanding of the system’s current condition and future maintenance needs.A proper plumbing inspection helps you plan for potential upgrades and prevents hidden water damage from escalating.

Switchboard Analysis

Our safety switch testing determines whether a safety switch is installed on the property and verifies its proper functionality. Safety switches can occasionally fail, and in the event of an electrical hazard, a malfunctioning safety switch could result in serious consequences such as fire, electric shock, or, in extreme cases, fatality.

Interior and Exterior Review

We examine the inside and outside of the building — walls, ceilings, doors, windows, and external surfaces — for any defects, moisture issues, or evidence of pest damage.Spotting these problems early allows you to address aesthetic and structural concerns before they worsen.

Site and Landscape Inspection

Our inspection extends to outdoor features such as driveways, boundary fences, retaining walls, and drainage systems to uncover any issues related to stability, water flow, or maintenance. A well-assessed site ensures there are no hidden risks impacting the property’s overall functionality and value.
