Building Inspections in Melbourne

Tell us about the property and we'll match you with a local Melbourne inspector

How Melbourne works

We do not inspect in Melbourne ourselves. Our own team works in Darwin and the Top End. Tell us about the property and we will pass your enquiry to an independent local inspector who does work here. It costs you nothing, and they quote you directly — the price, the scope and the report are theirs, not ours.

Buying or selling in Melbourne?

Melbourne sits on some of the most reactive clay soil in the country, and foundation movement is the defect that decides more purchases here than anything else. Tell us about the property and we'll pass your enquiry to an inspector who works that part of Melbourne.

Local Climate Considerations

Temperate with a wide daily range and pronounced wet and dry cycles that drive seasonal soil movement. Cold, damp winters make condensation and mould a live issue in poorly ventilated housing.

Housing in Melbourne

Victorian and Edwardian terraces and weatherboards close in, interwar and post-war brick further out, and very large volume-builder estates on the urban fringe at Craigieburn, Point Cook and Pakenham.

Pool rules in Victoria

Victoria requires every pool and spa to be registered with the local council, with a certificate of barrier compliance lodged. Barriers must be re-inspected every four years and a new compliance certificate lodged each time.

Source: Pool and spa registration requirements — Victorian Building Authority. Requirements change — confirm your own position with the relevant authority.
