MELBOURNE INSPECTION GUIDE

Building, pest and termite inspection answers before you commit.

Buyers, sellers and investors use BEST reports to understand visible defects, termite risks, moisture problems and repair priorities before making a property decision.

What do we inspect?

Our inspectors check accessible structure, roof spaces, subfloors, wet areas, drainage, moisture indicators, safety defects, timber pests and termite conditions.

When should you book?

Book a pre purchase building inspection before signing, bidding, settling or accepting handover so hidden repair costs do not become your problem later.

Where do we work?

We service Melbourne, Hoppers Crossing, Williams Landing, Tarneit, Geelong, Mornington, Frankston, Epping, Craigieburn, Point Cook and surrounding suburbs.

What do you receive?

You receive a clear, photo-rich inspection report with defect explanations, severity notes and practical next steps, usually delivered within 24 hours.

BUYER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking a building and pest inspection in Melbourne.

How fast will I receive my completed inspection report? +

All comprehensive digital inspection reports are delivered within 24 hours of completing the physical on-site audit. If you are operating under an urgent 3-day Victorian cooling-off period or auction deadline, same-day evening delivery is available.

What is checked during the 200+ point inspection? +

Our licensed inspectors examine all accessible areas across 6 zones: roof voids and trusses, subfloor crawlspaces and timber stumps, internal living spaces and wet areas (with FLIR thermal imaging), external masonry and cladding, roof coverings and guttering, and site drainage gradients.

Can I attend the inspection in person? +

Yes! We encourage clients to join our inspector for the final 30 minutes of the audit for a direct verbal walkthrough of key defects, moisture readings, and structural observations before the written report is compiled.

Are your inspectors registered with the VBA and insured? +

Yes. All BEST inspectors are registered with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA), hold $5,000,000 Professional Indemnity and Public Liability insurance, and strictly comply with Australian Standards AS 4349.1-2007 and AS 4349.3.
