Buying an established home in Wollert, what to check
Wollert homes range from 2000s estate builds to recent handovers. What a pre-purchase inspection covers under AS 4349.1, and what to look for.
A pre-purchase inspection is the independent look at a home before you buy it in Wollert. It is a visual inspection of readily accessible areas under AS 4349.1, reported before you sign.
A pre-purchase inspection is carried out to AS 4349.1 as a visual inspection of readily accessible areas. Findings are considered against the National Construction Code and ABCB Housing Provisions, the Guide to Standards and Tolerances 2015 and AS 2870 for slabs and footings where relevant.
37 checkpoints across 9 areas on a standard Wollert pre-purchase building inspection. Anything we could not safely reach on the day is written up as a limitation rather than passed over.
Wollert is almost entirely new build, so these pre-purchase findings come from established homes we inspected in Preston, in Melbourne's inner north. Captions are rewritten from the inspector's report notes. Client addresses withheld.

Everything readily accessible and visible: interior, exterior, roof space, roof exterior, subfloor where there is one, and the site within the boundary. It is a visual inspection under AS 4349.1.
The fee depends on the size and age of the home and whether you add timber pest. Send us the listing address and we will quote a fixed price with nothing added afterwards.
Usually within one to two business days, and sooner where a campaign is closing. The report is issued within 24 hours of the inspection so you have it before you bid or sign.
It is visual only, so nothing is operated or tested. Electrical, gas and appliance testing is for a licensed electrician or gasfitter. We do not move furniture, open up linings, or inspect for timber pests.
No, an AS 4349.1 report reports condition, not price. It records what was observed and how significant it is, and you can take that to a builder or trade for a quote before you commit.
Yes. We hold Building and Plumbing Commission registration CDB-U 53425, formerly the VBA, and carry current professional indemnity and public liability insurance for inspection work.
Yes. Homes here are new but they sit on reactive basalt clay, so movement, drainage and workmanship issues appear early. Many are also still inside the ten year limitation period.
Yes. Meet us at the end of the inspection and we will walk you through the significant items on site, then follow it up with the written report and a call if you have questions.
We report it as an access limitation and say exactly what could not be seen and why. An honest limitation is more useful to you than a guess about a space nobody actually entered.
