Newmarket homes often mix older weatherboards, renovated terraces and newer units—this Basic Package targets the big-ticket risks buyers miss in quick walk-throughs, from structural movement to hidden termite activity and asbestos indicators.
7 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We visually assess key structural elements for signs of significant movement, distortion or failure, including cracking patterns, floor level changes and roof structure concerns where accessible. In Newmarket’s older housing stock, prior renovations and re-stumping history can leave clues that only show up in how the building is sitting today.
Learn more about Major Structural Defects in NewmarketWe identify major defects that affect function, safety or value, such as roof covering issues, poor drainage, failing waterproofing indicators and deteriorated external cladding. Newmarket properties that have had cosmetic updates can still carry underlying building faults, and this service helps separate surface presentation from real condition.
Learn more about Major Building Defects in NewmarketBuying in Newmarket usually means judging a property’s condition across different build eras. The Basic Package is built for buyers who need a clear, practical read on major defects and safety risks before contracts go unconditional. For $650, we inspect for major structural defects, major building defects, termite and timber pest activity, safety hazards, a visual asbestos survey, mould presence, and an electrical visual inspection. These checks work together: moisture and ventilation issues can link to mould, timber decay and pest risk, while structural movement can show up as cracking, sticking doors and uneven floors. ACE Building and Pest Inspections delivers straightforward reporting and prioritises what matters to your decision. Although we’re based in Ringwood, we regularly inspect across Melbourne, and we know what to look for in Newmarket’s mix of older construction, renovations and strata-managed buildings.

Newmarket (3031) has plenty of properties that have been altered over time—extensions at the rear, updated kitchens and bathrooms, and converted spaces. That mix can hide issues like older wiring left in place, patch repairs that mask cracking, or moisture build-up in subfloors and wet areas. Apartments and townhouses can also have shared services and different maintenance responsibilities, so our findings help you ask the right questions of agents, owners and body corporates.
If you’re buying in 3031 and need the big risks checked—major defects, termites, asbestos indicators, mould and visible electrical issues—call ACE Building and Pest Inspections on 0485 857 077.
We inspect accessible areas for evidence of termites and other timber pests, along with conditions conducive to attack, using current inspection methods and a methodical approach. In Newmarket, concealed timbers in older walls, subfloors and garden-adjacent areas can create risk, particularly where moisture and stored timber are present.
Learn more about Termite & Timber Pest Inspection in NewmarketWe check for visible safety issues such as trip hazards, unsafe balustrades and stairs, damaged roofing access points, and other observable hazards around the home. This matters in Newmarket where older steps, retaining edges and mixed-era alterations can create non-obvious hazards that buyers only notice after moving in.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in NewmarketOur visual-only asbestos survey flags materials that commonly contain asbestos so you can make informed next steps before renovation or demolition. Many Newmarket homes built or updated in earlier decades may include older eaves, wall sheeting or external cladding products, and identifying likely asbestos-containing materials early helps you plan testing and safe removal.
Learn more about Visual Asbestos Survey in NewmarketWe look for visible mould and moisture indicators, and we note common contributors such as poor ventilation, plumbing leaks and condensation-prone rooms. In Newmarket, mould is often linked to bathrooms and laundries in renovated homes where extraction is inadequate, or to subfloor ventilation issues in older dwellings.
Learn more about Mould Presence in NewmarketWe conduct a visual-only electrical assessment of accessible components, noting signs of damage, DIY alterations, aged fittings and other red flags. Newmarket properties that have had partial renovations can end up with a mix of old and new electrical work, and this service helps highlight where a licensed electrician should investigate further.
