What's Included in Your Package

7 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value

Major Structural Defects

We visually assess key structural elements for signs of significant movement or failure, including cracking patterns, sagging, and structural timber or masonry concerns. In Flemington, this matters because many properties have had extensions or internal reconfigurations where load paths may have been altered over time.

Major Building Defects

We look for major building faults that impact function and durability, such as water entry points, roof and gutter issues, and defects that can cause rapid deterioration. Flemington renovations can look polished on the surface, so we focus on clues that indicate underlying workmanship or maintenance problems.

Termite & Timber Pest Inspection

We inspect accessible areas for evidence of termites and timber pests, plus conditions that increase risk like moisture, timber-to-ground contact and concealed entry points. In Flemington, older timber elements and subfloor zones (where present) can provide the conditions pests need if ventilation and drainage aren’t right.

Safety Hazards

We identify visible hazards that could affect occupant safety, such as unsafe access areas, trip risks, and obvious non-compliant or dangerous conditions we can see. This is particularly useful in Flemington homes with steep stairs, older balustrades, or DIY alterations made during quick renovations.

Visual Asbestos Survey

Our visual asbestos survey flags materials that commonly contain asbestos based on appearance and context, and we recommend appropriate next steps where suspected. Flemington’s older housing stock can include legacy sheeting and older external or wet-area linings, so knowing what may be present helps you plan renovations safely.

Mould Presence

We look for visible mould and the moisture indicators that drive it, including staining, musty odours and poor ventilation signs in accessible areas. In Flemington, mould often links to bathroom and laundry ventilation, older window seals, and drainage issues that keep sub-areas damp.

Electrical Visual Inspection

We conduct a visual-only electrical check of accessible components for obvious safety concerns, such as damage, outdated fittings, or signs of overheating. Many Flemington properties have a mix of old and new electrical work, so this helps highlight where a licensed electrician should investigate further.

Why This Package for Flemington?

Buying in Flemington (3031) can mean anything from an older home that’s been renovated in stages to a modern townhouse or apartment. The Basic Package is designed to quickly identify major issues that can affect safety, liveability and your negotiating position, without getting lost in minor cosmetic items. Your $650 Basic Package includes checks for major structural defects, major building defects, termite and timber pest activity, safety hazards, a visual asbestos survey, mould presence and a visual electrical inspection. Together, these services focus on the common high-consequence problems: movement and cracking, moisture pathways that drive mould and timber decay, pest conditions that weaken timber, and obvious safety or electrical risks you need to know before you commit. ACE Building and Pest Inspections brings Melbourne-based experience and a practical reporting style that’s easy to act on. You’ll receive clear findings and next steps, so you can decide whether to proceed, renegotiate, or line up the right specialist follow-ups.

Local Flemington Considerations

Flemington properties can show a mix of age-related wear, renovation shortcuts and moisture issues—especially where older subfloors, bathrooms and external drainage haven’t been updated properly. The suburb’s varied building stock means one inspection needs to cover both traditional materials (timber, brick, older roof spaces) and newer fit-outs where defects can be concealed behind fresh finishes.

Package Benefits for Flemington Properties

Spot major cracking, movement and structural warning signs before you sign, especially in properties that have been extended or remodelled

Identify water entry and maintenance defects that can lead to ongoing mould, timber decay and repeated repair bills

Understand termite and timber pest risk based on visible evidence and site conditions, not just guesswork

Flag visible safety hazards that could affect insurance, tenancy, or immediate repair priorities after settlement

Get early warning on suspected asbestos-containing materials so you can budget for testing and safe removal before renovations

Highlight obvious electrical risks so you can plan a targeted electrician inspection rather than paying for broad, unfocused call-outs

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Basic Package suitable for older homes and renovations in Flemington?▼

Yes. The Basic Package is built around the issues that commonly matter most for Flemington buyers: major structural movement, major building defects, timber pest activity, visible asbestos risks, mould indicators, safety hazards and obvious electrical concerns. It’s especially useful where a home has been renovated in stages, because we look for signs that problems may be concealed behind new finishes and paintwork.

What does “visual” mean for asbestos and electrical in this Flemington inspection?▼

“Visual” means we assess accessible areas without invasive testing or dismantling. For asbestos, we identify materials that commonly contain asbestos based on appearance and location, then recommend testing or specialist advice if needed. For electrical, we check visible components for obvious risks (damage, heat signs, outdated fittings) and advise where a licensed electrician should carry out further investigation.

Will you check for termites even if the property is a brick home?▼

Yes. Termites attack timber, not bricks, and brick properties can still have timber framing, subfloors, roof timbers, fences and landscaping elements that attract pests. We inspect accessible areas for evidence and for conditions that increase risk, such as moisture, concealed entry points and timber-to-ground contact. If access is restricted, we clearly note limitations and next steps.

Are there Flemington-specific issues you commonly see around moisture and mould?▼

Flemington homes can show mould where bathrooms, laundries and kitchens vent poorly, or where older windows and seals allow condensation and water entry. We also see moisture problems linked to external drainage, overflowing gutters and sub-area dampness in older-style homes. During the inspection we look for visible mould, musty odours and moisture indicators, then explain the likely drivers and what to investigate next.

How quickly can I book the Basic Package in Flemington and what do I receive?▼

Booking depends on inspector availability and property access, but we aim to schedule promptly once you provide the address and preferred time. After the inspection, you receive a clear report covering the seven included services, with photos where relevant and practical guidance on which items are urgent, which are negotiable, and where specialist follow-up is recommended.
