Ashburton homes often mix older rebuilds and updated extensions—this Basic Package targets the big-ticket risks buyers miss: structure movement, concealed termite activity, asbestos clues, and safety faults.
7 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We visually check for signs of serious movement and structural stress—cracking patterns, floor level changes, and distortion around openings. In Ashburton, where older homes are frequently extended or reconfigured, mismatched junctions between original and new sections can reveal load and support problems early.
Learn more about Major Structural Defects in AshburtonThis focuses on major defects that affect function and value, such as roof covering issues, flashing and drainage problems, and obvious water ingress points. Ashburton renovations can look finished on the surface, so we pay attention to detailing that prevents leaks around bathrooms, balconies, and new rear additions.
Learn more about Major Building Defects in AshburtonBuying in Ashburton (3147) can mean anything from original homes on established blocks to renovated properties with new kitchens, bathrooms and rear additions. The Basic Package is designed to pick up the major issues that change your negotiating position—before you commit. This $650 inspection combines seven practical checks that work together: visual assessment for major structural and building defects, termite and timber pest activity, safety hazards, a visual asbestos survey, mould presence indicators, and a visual electrical inspection. You get one set of findings that links cause and consequence—for example, moisture and ventilation issues that can drive mould, or subfloor access that can hide termite damage. ACE Building and Pest Inspections brings Melbourne experience with a streamlined process and clear reporting. Our team travels from Ringwood and understands what buyers need: straightforward explanations, photo evidence, and prioritised items so you know what must be fixed now versus what should be monitored.
Ashburton properties commonly sit among mature gardens and older streetscapes, which can mean more subfloor moisture, concealed timber elements, and past renovations of varying quality. Rear extensions, re-stumped areas, older eaves and wet areas are all worth a close look, along with accessible roof spaces and subfloors where pests and leaks often first show up.

We inspect accessible areas for evidence of termites and timber pests, including mud leads, damaged timbers, and conducive conditions. Ashburton’s established trees, garden beds and timber features can increase risk around subfloors, fences and pergolas, so we look closely at where timber meets soil and where ventilation is restricted.
Learn more about Termite & Timber Pest Inspection in AshburtonWe identify visible hazards that can put occupants at risk, such as trip hazards, unsafe balustrading, and obvious non-compliant conditions in accessible areas. Many Ashburton homes have been updated in stages, so we look for mixed-era changes where safety details are commonly overlooked.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in AshburtonOur visual-only asbestos survey flags materials that commonly contained asbestos, based on age and appearance, without sampling. In Ashburton, older eaves, wall linings, and outbuildings may still include suspect sheeting, so we highlight likely locations so you can plan safe next steps before any renovation or removal work.
Learn more about Visual Asbestos Survey in AshburtonWe assess for visible mould, moisture staining, and conditions that support mould growth, such as poor ventilation and water entry points. In Ashburton homes with shaded side paths, older bathrooms, or limited subfloor airflow, mould often links back to moisture management issues we can help you pinpoint.
Learn more about Mould Presence in AshburtonWe provide a visual-only check of accessible electrical components for obvious defects and safety concerns. Ashburton properties sometimes show mixed upgrades—older switchboards alongside newer fittings—so we note visible red flags that warrant a licensed electrician’s testing before settlement or occupancy.
