Melbourne homes often mix older materials, renovations and moisture-prone areas—this Basic Package targets the big-ticket risks: structure, major defects, termites, asbestos indicators, mould and visible electrical issues.
7 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We visually inspect key structural elements such as footings where visible, stumps/piers, bearers/joists, walls, roof framing and signs of movement. In Melbourne, settlement, drainage changes and renovation work can show up as cracking, uneven floors or distorted door frames—issues that can be expensive if missed.
Learn more about Major Structural Defects in MelbourneWe identify major building defects that impact safety, liveability or value, including water ingress indicators, roof and guttering problems, and defective building work where visible. Melbourne’s mix of old and renovated homes means patch repairs can hide bigger issues, so we focus on defects that typically lead to recurring leaks and ongoing damage.

You’ll get a straight-talking report that highlights major defects, explains likely causes and outlines next steps, so you can make a confident decision without getting buried in irrelevant detail.
Melbourne properties regularly show a mix of ageing building components and newer upgrades—subfloor ventilation changes, bathroom and kitchen renovations, and moisture around windows and basements can all create hidden risks. In inner-city pockets, restricted access, adjoining walls and roof spaces can limit what’s visible, so a careful, methodical visual inspection is important to identify red flags early and guide any specialist follow-up you may need.

We inspect accessible areas for evidence of termites and timber pests, including mud leads, damaged timbers and conducive conditions. Melbourne homes with gardens, subfloors, stored timber or moisture around the perimeter can attract pests, so we note risk zones and where further investigation may be needed.
Learn more about Termite & Timber Pest Inspection in MelbourneWe check for visible safety hazards such as trip risks, unsafe balustrades/handrails, damaged steps, and other obvious hazards around the home. In Melbourne, older stairs, verandahs and DIY alterations are common, and these issues can become urgent once you move in or start renovating.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in MelbourneWe visually assess materials that commonly contain asbestos in older Melbourne properties, such as eaves, wall linings, wet area sheeting and older fencing/roofing products where visible. This is a visual-only survey, designed to help you spot likely asbestos-containing materials so you can plan safe renovation or engage testing/removal specialists.
Learn more about Visual Asbestos Survey in MelbourneWe look for visible mould and moisture indicators in areas that commonly trap damp, including bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, around windows and in poorly ventilated rooms. Melbourne’s variable weather and older building envelopes can lead to condensation and hidden damp, so we document where mould is present and what conditions may be driving it.
Learn more about Mould Presence in MelbourneWe perform a visual-only electrical assessment of accessible components, looking for obvious issues such as damaged fittings, unsafe DIY work, exposed wiring or deteriorated switchboards where visible. Melbourne homes that have been renovated in stages can have mixed electrical standards, so this check helps flag concerns that warrant a licensed electrician’s testing.
