Templestowe homes often sit on sloping blocks and include older timber elements and renovations—this Basic Package targets the big-ticket structural, pest, moisture, electrical and asbestos red flags that can affect purchase decisions.
7 professional inspection services bundled together for maximum value
We visually assess accessible structural elements for signs of major movement, distress and failure, including cracking patterns, sagging and distortion. In Templestowe, split-level designs and retaining structures can place extra demands on footings and framing, so we focus on how the building is performing across changes in level.
Learn more about Major Structural Defects in TemplestoweWe look for major defects that affect habitability, durability and value, such as significant water ingress indicators, failed building elements and poor-quality alterations. Templestowe homes often include renovations and additions; we pay close attention to junctions between old and new work where defects can show up first.
Learn more about Major Building Defects in TemplestoweBuying in Templestowe means you can be looking at anything from original brick veneer homes to renovated family properties on challenging sites. The Basic Package is built to flag issues that typically drive urgent repairs or renegotiation—major structural movement, serious building defects, termite activity, safety hazards, mould and suspected asbestos. This package combines a visual structural and building check with a termite and timber pest inspection, safety hazard review, visual asbestos survey, mould identification and an electrical visual inspection. Taken together, these services help link symptoms to likely causes—for example, moisture and mould patterns that also raise termite risk, or cracking that aligns with drainage and site conditions. ACE Building and Pest Inspections (Ringwood) delivers clear, practical reporting for Templestowe buyers. You’ll get straightforward descriptions, photos where relevant, and guidance on what needs urgent attention versus what can be planned—so you can move forward with a decision rather than guesswork.
Templestowe properties in 3106 commonly feature split levels, retaining walls, subfloor areas, and extensions added over time. These layouts can hide moisture build-up, wiring changes, and pest entry points, particularly around decks, pergolas and garden interfaces. A targeted inspection matters here because the combination of sloping sites, established vegetation and mixed-era construction can concentrate risk in specific parts of the home rather than evenly across the building.

We inspect accessible areas for termite activity and conditions conducive to timber pests, and we identify high-risk zones such as subfloors, fences, decks and garden-adjacent timbers. Templestowe’s established yards and timber landscaping features can increase concealment, so we check likely entry points and timber-to-ground contact carefully.
Learn more about Termite & Timber Pest Inspection in TemplestoweWe identify visible safety hazards that can pose immediate risk, such as trip hazards, unsafe access points, and obvious issues around stairs, balustrades and wet areas. With many Templestowe homes featuring multi-level living and outdoor entertaining areas, we focus on fall risks and high-use circulation areas.
Learn more about Safety Hazards in TemplestoweOur visual-only asbestos survey flags materials that commonly contain asbestos based on appearance and age indicators, and we recommend next steps where suspected materials are present. In parts of Templestowe with older housing stock and retrofits, this helps you avoid accidental disturbance during renovations or maintenance.
Learn more about Visual Asbestos Survey in TemplestoweWe look for visible mould and moisture indicators and note the conditions that can support regrowth, such as poor ventilation, leaks and subfloor dampness. Templestowe homes with enclosed under-house spaces, bathrooms without adequate exhaust, or shaded walls can develop persistent mould patterns that need targeted remediation.
Learn more about Mould Presence in TemplestoweWe perform a visual-only electrical inspection of accessible components, noting obvious defects and safety concerns such as damaged fittings, non-compliant-looking alterations and heat-related deterioration. In Templestowe, where renovations are common, this is especially useful for spotting DIY-style changes before they become costly to rectify.
