Melbourne’s property market is competitive and fast-moving, and there are a variety of building types, each with its own potential risks. That’s why a thorough building inspection is a critical step in the buying process.

A professional inspection can uncover hidden issues that might not be visible during a standard walk-through. From structural cracks and faulty plumbing to unsafe wiring or pest infestations, identifying these problems early can save you thousands in future repair costs. Our inspections also assess compliance with Victorian building codes, so you're not stuck with an unapproved renovation or safety hazard down the line.

Importantly, a detailed report gives you more than just information—it gives you leverage. You’ll have the facts to renegotiate the price, request repairs, or walk away from a deal that doesn't stack up. In a market like Melbourne, where bidding wars and auctions are common, a building inspection is your best line of defence.

We provide a complete range of inspection services designed to suit every type of property and buyer across Melbourne:
Pre-Purchase Building Inspections

This is our most popular service and for good reason. A pre-purchase inspection gives you a comprehensive overview of the property’s condition, covering structural elements, roofing, foundations, drainage, plumbing, electrical systems, external cladding, and more. It’s the ultimate risk-mitigation tool before you buy.

Pest Inspections

Melbourne’s temperate climate is ideal for timber pests like termites, which can cause significant damage to homes if left undetected. Our pest inspections identify any active infestations or signs of previous activity and assess areas vulnerable to attack.

Combined Building & Pest Inspections

Get the best of both services in one convenient package. This combined inspection is cost-effective and time-efficient, providing a full-picture assessment of both structural and pest-related risks in one report.

New Home Handover Inspections

Even brand-new homes can have defects. Our handover inspections ensure your new build meets quality expectations before settlement, identifying any unfinished work, poor workmanship, or items that don’t meet Australian Standards.

Special Purpose Reports

Do you have a specific concern? We offer tailored reports to address individual issues such as water ingress, cracking, sagging roofs, or mould concerns. These reports are ideal for ongoing maintenance or dispute resolution.
We service all areas of Melbourne, Geelong, the Mornington Peninsula, and surrounding suburbs.

Our reports are clear, detailed, and delivered quickly—usually within 24 to 48 hours of your inspection.

Each report includes a summary of major and minor defects, accompanied by high-resolution photos to illustrate our findings. We explain technical issues in plain English, making it easy for buyers, sellers, and agents to understand the condition of the property. Where necessary, we include recommendations for repair, further assessment, or future monitoring.

The result? You walk away with the knowledge you need to make a confident decision—whether that’s moving forward with the purchase, renegotiating the price, or avoiding a costly mistake.

Melbourne’s property scene is one of the most diverse in the country, and that diversity comes with a range of challenges that make building inspections even more important.

In inner-city suburbs like Fitzroy, Carlton, and Richmond, older heritage homes often come with issues such as rising damp, ageing wiring, or outdated plumbing systems. Meanwhile, newer suburbs on Melbourne’s fringe may include homes that look great on the surface but suffer from poor construction quality or non-compliant renovations.

With auctions and private sales moving quickly, some buyers are tempted to skip inspections. But that’s a risky move. Melbourne’s changeable weather conditions also create challenges—excessive rain can expose drainage issues, while extreme heat can affect roof integrity and ventilation.
Wherever you're buying, our local expertise gives you the upper hand.

Booking an inspection with us is easy and stress-free:
