Premium Package Inspection in Jolimont ($699)

We look for visible safety hazards like trip risks, unsafe balustrades/handrails, hot water system concerns, and other hazards observed during the inspection. In denser inner-city pockets like Jolimont, shared accessways, balconies and older stairs can introduce safety risks that buyers should understand before settlement.

We inspect accessible areas for evidence of termite activity and other timber pests, plus conditions conducive to attack (moisture, timber-to-ground contact and concealed entry points). Even in inner Melbourne, termites can travel and exploit damp timbers, so this check helps you avoid surprises in floor frames, joinery and subfloor zones where present.

We visually identify materials that may contain asbestos based on age, appearance and typical applications (for example, certain sheet products and external claddings). In Jolimont, properties with older construction or partial renovations may have legacy materials left in place; we flag suspected areas so you can manage them safely and arrange testing or specialist advice if needed.

We assess for visible mould and the building conditions that support it, such as ventilation issues, water staining and persistent dampness. Jolimont homes with bathrooms, laundries or balconies that receive limited airflow can develop recurring mould; identifying likely sources helps you plan fixes, not just clean-up.

We perform a visual-only inspection of accessible electrical components, looking for obvious defects, ageing fittings and unsafe DIY signs. In Jolimont, where some dwellings have older switchboards or piecemeal upgrades, a visual review can highlight where an electrician should investigate further before you move in.

We take precise floor level measurements to identify patterns consistent with settlement, heave or subfloor issues. This is particularly useful in Jolimont where movement can be subtle; the readings give you objective data to discuss with a builder or engineer, and they can support negotiations if the variance is significant.

We visually check for the presence and placement of smoke alarms in accessible areas and note obvious gaps. In Jolimont apartments or multi-level homes, correct alarm placement matters for early warning; our notes help you quickly confirm what needs to be added or repositioned after purchase.

We conduct electrical polarity testing to identify wiring issues that can create shock risk or indicate incorrect connections. For Jolimont buyers, this adds a practical safety layer beyond a visual check—especially where older fittings may have been replaced without properly verifying wiring integrity.

We report on minor defects that can escalate—like deteriorated seals, early timber decay, loose fixings, minor leaks and maintenance oversights. In Jolimont, small water entry points around windows, balconies and wet areas can become major repairs if left; catching them early helps you budget and prioritise.
