This package combines structural, pests, asbestos, mould, electrical and floor-level testing to pinpoint risks before you sign.
11 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We visually assess key structural elements such as stumps, bearers, joists, walls and roof framing to identify signs of significant movement or failure. In Essendon North, this helps flag problems that can be masked by recent cosmetic renovations, especially where older sections meet newer extensions.
Learn more about Major Structural Defects in Essendon NorthWe check for major defects in the building fabric, including roof covering condition, water ingress indicators, poor workmanship and significant deterioration. Essendon North homes that have been updated in stages can show inconsistent detailing and hidden defects behind new plaster or cladding.
Learn more about Major Building Defects in Essendon NorthBuying in Essendon North often means assessing a home that’s been updated over time—new kitchens and rear extensions paired with older frames, subfloors and original linings. The Premium Package is built for that reality, so you can judge the condition of the whole property, not just the freshly renovated areas. For $699, the Premium Package brings together 11 key checks: major structural defects, major building defects, safety hazards, termite and timber pests, a visual asbestos survey, mould presence, electrical visual inspection, a digital floor level survey, smoke detectors assessment, an electrical polarity safety assessment, and minor property defects. The combination matters because issues like floor movement, moisture and pests often show up across multiple areas, and separate checks can miss how they connect. ACE Building and Pest Inspections delivers clear, photo-backed reporting and practical call-outs you can use in negotiations. Based in Ringwood, we inspect across Melbourne and know what buyers need to confirm in suburbs like Essendon North. To book, call 0485 857 077.
Essendon North properties commonly include timber subfloors, older roof spaces and upgraded additions where transitions between “old” and “new” can hide cracking, uneven floors, damp subfloor conditions and patched electrical work. Many homes of mid-20th-century vintage may also include asbestos-containing materials in eaves, wet areas and older outbuildings, so a focused visual scan is important alongside structural and safety checks.
If you’re buying an older home, a renovated weatherboard, or a property with an extension in Essendon North, this $699 package checks the structural movement, pests, asbestos indicators, mould and electrical safety items that commonly get missed.
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.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in Essendon NorthWe 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.
Learn more about Termite & Timber Pest Inspection in Essendon NorthWe 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.
Learn more about Visual Asbestos Survey in Essendon NorthWe 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.
Learn more about Mould Presence in Essendon NorthWe 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.
Learn more about Electrical Visual Inspection in Essendon NorthWe 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.
Learn more about Digital Floor Level Survey in Essendon NorthWe 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.
Learn more about Smoke Detectors Assessment in Essendon NorthWe 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.
Learn more about Electrical Safety Assessment in Essendon NorthWe 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.
