Richmond homes often blend older terraces and renovated stock where movement, moisture, legacy materials and DIY wiring can hide in plain sight. This package pairs a digital floor level survey with pest, asbestos, mould and electrical checks so you can spot costly issues before you sign.
11 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We perform a visual structural inspection to identify major defects that affect integrity, such as significant cracking, distortion or signs of structural movement. In Richmond, where older homes and extensions can meet in complex ways, early detection helps you avoid unexpected underpinning or major rectification work.
Learn more about Major Structural Defects in RichmondThis covers major building defects that can impact safety and value, including serious water ingress indicators, failed construction elements and significant deterioration. Richmond buyers often see renovated presentations, so we focus on whether the underlying workmanship and building elements show red flags behind the “freshly updated” look.
Learn more about Major Building Defects in RichmondBuying in Richmond isn’t just about the street appeal. Many properties around 3121 include older building elements, extensions and upgrades completed across different eras, which can create mixed construction details and “patchwork” maintenance. The Premium Package is designed to uncover the problems that are easy to miss at an open. For $699, you get 11 targeted checks working together: major structural and building defects, safety hazards, termite and timber pests, a visual asbestos survey, mould presence, electrical visual inspection plus electrical polarity safety assessment, a digital floor level survey, smoke detector presence/placement, and minor property defects. This combination helps connect the dots between movement, moisture, pests and electrical risks. ACE Building and Pest Inspections brings detailed reporting and a practical, buyer-focused approach. Based in Ringwood and servicing Richmond regularly, we provide clear findings you can act on, including what to address first, what to monitor, and what to ask the agent or vendor to clarify before contract.
Richmond properties commonly include a mix of period homes, updated interiors, and multi-dwelling builds, which can mean older materials behind new finishes, variable subfloor ventilation, and changes to drainage or roof plumbing after renovations. That’s why a Richmond inspection needs to look beyond cosmetics—checking floor levels for movement, inspecting for moisture-linked mould, and assessing electrical safety where older switchboards or DIY alterations may still be present.
If you’re buying in 3121, this $699 package is built for older homes and renovations—floor levels, pests, asbestos, mould and electrical checks in one booking. Call 0485 857 077.
We check for visible safety hazards around the property that could put occupants at risk, such as unstable fixtures, unsafe access points and obvious trip or fall hazards. In Richmond’s tighter blocks and multi-level layouts, safety issues can crop up on stairs, balconies, rear access ways and courtyard areas.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in RichmondWe inspect accessible areas for evidence of termites and other timber pests, plus conditions conducive to attack. Richmond’s mix of older timber elements, fences, and subfloor spaces means we pay close attention to moisture sources and concealed timber where pests can gain a foothold.
Learn more about Termite & Timber Pest Inspection in RichmondOur visual asbestos survey identifies materials that may contain asbestos based on appearance and location, without destructive sampling. Many Richmond homes built or renovated in earlier decades can still contain asbestos-cement sheeting or eaves materials, so identifying likely locations helps you plan safe renovations and contractor quotes.
Learn more about Visual Asbestos Survey in RichmondWe look for visible mould and conditions that commonly support it, such as poor ventilation and moisture staining. In Richmond, mould can show up in bathrooms, laundries and behind furniture on external walls, especially where ventilation upgrades haven’t kept pace with modern living.
Learn more about Mould Presence in RichmondWe visually assess accessible electrical components for obvious defects, damage or non-ideal installations. Richmond properties can include older wiring runs and piecemeal upgrades, so this check helps flag visible concerns that may warrant further assessment by a licensed electrician.
Learn more about Electrical Visual Inspection in RichmondWe use digital equipment to measure floor level variations and identify patterns consistent with movement or settlement. This is especially useful in Richmond where older foundations, renovations, or changes to drainage can contribute to uneven floors that you may not notice during a short inspection.
Learn more about Digital Floor Level Survey in RichmondWe visually confirm the presence and placement of smoke detectors. For Richmond buyers considering immediate move-in or leasing, this quick check highlights if detectors appear missing or poorly positioned so you can address it promptly after settlement.
Learn more about Smoke Detectors Assessment in RichmondWe perform electrical polarity testing to help detect potentially dangerous wiring issues at tested points. In Richmond, where DIY modifications can exist in older homes or fast renovations, polarity testing provides an extra layer of practical risk checking beyond a visual-only review.
Learn more about Electrical Safety Assessment in RichmondWe identify smaller defects that can become expensive if ignored, such as early moisture damage, minor cracking, sticking doors or deteriorating sealants. In Richmond, these items often relate to ongoing movement, ventilation or water management, so fixing them early can prevent bigger repairs.
