Brunswick has a mix of Victorian terraces, renovated weatherboards and older flats where hidden issues often sit behind fresh finishes. This Basic Package targets the big-ticket risks buyers face locally: structural movement, termites, asbestos indicators, damp-related mould and visual electrical and safety hazards.
7 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We visually assess key structural elements for signs of movement and failure, including cracking patterns, floor levels, wall alignment and roof framing indicators. In Brunswick, older footings and mixed-era extensions can show differential movement, so we pay close attention to where original rooms join newer additions and where shared walls may disguise separation.
Learn more about Major Structural Defects in BrunswickWe identify major building defects that affect liveability, durability or value, such as water entry points, deteriorated materials, and faulty building work that’s visible at the time of inspection. Brunswick renovations can vary in quality, so we look for shortcuts like poorly finished flashings, inadequate fall to wet areas, and patch repairs that may be masking broader issues.
Learn more about Major Building Defects in BrunswickIf you’re buying in Brunswick, you’re often dealing with older homes, shared walls, extensions, and renovations of varying quality. The Basic Package is designed to flag the major faults that can change your budget fast, especially in properties that look “done” on the surface. For $650, the package includes checks for major structural defects, major building defects, termite and timber pests, safety hazards, a visual asbestos survey, mould presence, and an electrical visual inspection. Together, these services help you link cause and effect—like moisture leading to mould, mould pointing to ventilation or plumbing problems, and movement showing up as cracking and out-of-square openings. ACE Building and Pest Inspections brings Melbourne-focused experience to Brunswick inspections, with reporting that prioritises what’s urgent, what’s costly, and what needs specialist follow-up. If you’re comparing properties or negotiating terms, you’ll have clear findings you can act on, not just a list of observations.
Brunswick properties often combine original sections with later extensions, which can create junction cracks, uneven floors, and moisture traps where old and new meet. Many homes also have limited subfloor access, tightly packed boundaries, and older outbuildings or garages—conditions that can hide termite activity, deterioration to timber, and damp-related mould. Renovations can cover earlier damage, so a focused visual assessment of structure, defects, safety, asbestos indicators and pests is especially relevant in this area.

We inspect accessible areas for termite activity and timber pest damage, including evidence of mud leads, damaged timbers and high-risk conditions. Brunswick’s established gardens, fences and older timber elements can increase risk, especially where timber is close to the ground or moisture is present around subfloors and external walls.
Learn more about Termite & Timber Pest Inspection in BrunswickWe check for visible safety hazards that could pose immediate risk, such as trip hazards, unsafe balustrades, damaged stairs, and other observable issues. In Brunswick, narrow staircases, rear accessways and older balconies are common, so we look closely at handrails, guarding heights and stability where people are most likely to be injured.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in BrunswickOur visual asbestos survey identifies materials that commonly contain asbestos based on appearance and age, and flags where testing may be needed. Brunswick homes and flats may still have asbestos cement sheeting to eaves, wet areas, or older outbuildings; we highlight likely locations so you can plan safe renovation or removal steps.
Learn more about Visual Asbestos Survey in BrunswickWe inspect for visible mould and conditions that support it, such as poor ventilation, condensation points and signs of ongoing moisture. Brunswick’s older bathrooms, sealed-up fireplaces, and tightly packed terraces can struggle with airflow, so we focus on wet areas, behind furniture lines, and shaded walls where damp can persist.
Learn more about Mould Presence in BrunswickWe conduct a visual-only electrical inspection to identify obvious risks such as damaged fittings, unsafe DIY work, or ageing components visible at the time. Brunswick properties can include older switchboards or piecemeal upgrades during renovations, so we note visible red flags and recommend an electrician where the risk warrants it.
