Premium Package Inspection in Essendon North – $699

We identify visible hazards such as unsafe access areas, trip hazards, damaged balustrades/handrails and other obvious risks around the home. This is particularly useful in Essendon North where older front steps, backyard paving and retrofitted decks can introduce safety issues that don’t show up in photos.

We inspect accessible areas for evidence of termite activity and timber pest damage, and we note conditions conducive to attack. In Essendon North, subfloor ventilation, stored timber, garden beds against walls and older fences can increase risk points that buyers should address early.

We visually identify materials that commonly contain asbestos and record likely locations for further action if needed. In Essendon North, many homes from the mid-century era may have asbestos-cement sheeting in eaves, bathrooms, laundries and garages, making a targeted visual survey highly relevant before renovations.

We check for visible mould and moisture indicators in wet areas, ceilings, wardrobes and other susceptible zones. Essendon North homes with upgraded bathrooms or ducted heating/cooling can still have moisture issues around older external walls, subfloors and roof spaces if ventilation is poor.

We perform a visual-only electrical inspection to identify obvious issues such as aging components, visible damage and signs of DIY alterations where accessible. In Essendon North, older properties may have a mix of legacy wiring and newer upgrades, so it’s important to spot mismatched or unsafe presentations early.

We use digital equipment to measure floor levels and identify unevenness or movement trends. This is valuable in Essendon North where buyers often notice “springy” floors in older homes; a floor level survey helps separate normal ageing from movement that warrants further investigation.

We visually confirm the presence and placement of smoke alarms. In Essendon North, where many homes have been reconfigured or extended, this check helps you confirm alarms haven’t been overlooked during renovations or room changes.

We complete electrical polarity testing to identify potentially dangerous wiring faults in the tested outlets. For Essendon North buyers, polarity issues can appear in older homes after piecemeal upgrades, and this test provides a direct safety check beyond a visual review.

We document smaller issues such as maintenance concerns, minor cracking, seal failures and early deterioration points. In Essendon North, these minor defects often reveal how well the home has been maintained over time and what you may need to budget for in the first 6–12 months.
