An established home in Clyde looks finished, which is the problem. We inspect what a buyer cannot see on a Saturday morning and report the significant items before you are committed.
One of our inspectors will call you back.

Building & Plumbing Commission Australian Society of Building Consultants Strata Community Association Building Dispute Practitioners Society A pre-purchase inspection is a visual inspection of readily accessible areas reported under AS 4349.1, covering significant items: structural damage, conditions conducive to it, and safety hazards.
36 checkpoints across 9 areas on a standard Clyde pre-purchase building inspection. We inspect what can be reached safely on the day. Anything locked, covered or blocked by stored goods is recorded as not inspected rather than passed.
From a pre-purchase inspection in Berwick, about 10 km away in the same council area.
New Construction Stage Inspections Seven checks through a Clyde build, each timed for the moment before the work is covered and can no longer be seen. 
Pre-Handover (PCI) Inspections The inspection before you accept keys, turning a rushed builder walk through into a numbered list they have to answer. 
Building and Pest Inspections Building and timber pest together, including whether the termite system this corridor relies on is still intact. 
Defect Investigation Reports An independent read on whether what your builder called acceptable actually meets the standard, item by item. 
Dilapidation Reports A dated photographic record of your home before construction starts next door. 
Expert Witness Reports Written to the VCAT expert evidence practice note when a dispute goes to the tribunal. 
Pre-Listing Inspections Find what a buyer's inspector will find, before you list. 
Insurance Claim Assessments An independent assessment of damage for an insurance claim. Instant online pricing for Clyde, or contact the booking team.
AS 4349.1 is a visual inspection of readily accessible areas. It excludes electrical, gas and plumbing operation and testing, appliances, heating and cooling, automatic garage doors, pools and spas, concealed framing, footings below ground, asbestos and mould testing, and anything obstructed on the day. Timber pests fall outside this scope and are reported separately under AS 4349.3.
Not in a building only inspection. Timber pests are reported under AS 4349.3, which is our building and pest inspection. In Clyde we recommend it, because the corridor has termite management systems on most newer homes and their condition matters.
Usually within two to four business days, and sooner where a contract deadline needs it. Tell us the date when you book.
