Burnley homes often mix older brick terraces, renovated interiors and damp-prone areas near the Yarra corridor—this package focuses on the major faults that can turn a “nice renovation” into a costly project.
7 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We visually assess signs of significant movement such as cracking patterns, uneven floors, and changes around openings. In Burnley, older homes and renovated dwellings can show movement where new works meet original structure, so we focus on those transition points to spot red flags early.
Learn more about Major Structural Defects in BurnleyThis covers major defects that affect how the building performs, including water entry points, failed waterproofing indicators, and poor-quality alterations. Burnley renovations can hide issues behind fresh paint and new finishes, so we look for tell-tale signs that suggest shortcuts or ageing components needing urgent attention.
Learn more about Major Building Defects in BurnleyBuying in Burnley (3121) can mean anything from a tidy unit to an older home with extensions and patch-up repairs. The Basic Package is designed to flag the big-ticket issues that most commonly affect Melbourne inner suburbs—structural movement, hidden moisture, termite activity and legacy materials. You’ll get 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 separate cosmetic presentation from underlying problems, so you can negotiate repairs, plan works, or walk away before signing. ACE Building and Pest Inspections brings local Melbourne experience from our Ringwood base to Burnley inspections, with clear reporting and practical next steps. If we see something that needs a specialist (like a licensed electrician, plumber or asbestos assessor), we’ll explain exactly what to ask for and why it matters.
Burnley properties can show moisture-related issues from shaded yards, tight side access and older drainage, plus wear from frequent renovations and additions. In older stock, it’s common to see a mix of original materials and newer fit-outs, so we pay close attention to junctions where extensions meet the original house, subfloor ventilation, and any areas where damp can feed timber decay or termite attraction.

We check accessible areas for termite activity, damage and conditions that increase risk, including moisture, timber-to-ground contact and concealed entry points. Burnley gardens, fences, sleepers and older subfloors can create favourable conditions, so we target common access paths around external walls and subfloor timbers where accessible.
Learn more about Termite & Timber Pest Inspection in BurnleyWe identify visible hazards such as trip risks, damaged balustrades, unsafe stairs, and other issues that could cause injury. In Burnley’s mix of older layouts and updated interiors, we pay attention to retrofitted decks, balconies and altered internal steps where safety can be overlooked.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in BurnleyWe visually identify materials that may contain asbestos based on age and appearance, such as older eaves, wall linings, wet area sheeting and external cladding. Burnley homes that have had partial renovations often retain original asbestos-containing products in less obvious areas, so we highlight likely locations and recommend next steps before any works.
Learn more about Visual Asbestos Survey in BurnleyWe look for visible mould, moisture staining and conditions that support mould growth, including poor ventilation and damp-prone zones. Burnley homes with shaded rooms, older bathrooms or limited airflow can develop mould behind furniture and in corners, so we focus on wet areas, ceilings and external walls.
Learn more about Mould Presence in BurnleyWe conduct a visual-only check for signs of electrical safety concerns such as aged components, visible damage, and non-compliant-looking DIY work. Burnley properties that have been updated in stages can contain a mix of old and new electrical work, so we note visible risks and advise where a licensed electrician should investigate further.
