Aberfeldie homes often mix older builds and renovated extensions—this Basic Package focuses on the big-ticket risks: structural movement, hidden timber pests, safety hazards, and visual asbestos indicators before you commit.
7 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We visually assess the main structural elements for signs of movement, distortion, and load-path issues—things like significant cracking patterns, uneven floors, and framing concerns. In Aberfeldie, where older homes may have been extended or reconfigured, we pay close attention to how additions tie into the original structure and whether there are signs of differential movement.

Learn more about Termite & Timber Pest Inspection in AberfeldieWe identify observable safety hazards that could pose immediate risk, such as trip hazards, unsafe access points, and visible issues that warrant prompt attention. In Aberfeldie, this is particularly important for older properties with DIY alterations or aging components that may not meet current expectations for safe use.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in AberfeldieOur visual-only asbestos survey flags materials that commonly contain asbestos based on appearance and location, so you can plan testing or management before works. In Aberfeldie’s older housing stock, this can include eaves, wall linings, or wet-area sheeting—especially in original sections that haven’t been fully updated.
Learn more about Visual Asbestos Survey in AberfeldieWe check for visible mould and conditions that support mould growth, including dampness indicators and ventilation red flags. For Aberfeldie homes with enclosed subfloors, older bathrooms, or tight roof spaces, mould can point to ongoing moisture issues that affect air quality and building materials.
Learn more about Mould Presence in AberfeldieWe perform a visual-only assessment of accessible electrical components for obvious defects and safety concerns, such as aged fittings or visible damage. In Aberfeldie, where many homes have had staged upgrades, this helps highlight mismatched or older elements that may need an electrician to review before you move in.
