How Much Does a Building Inspection Cost in Melbourne?

Property inspections do not have a set fee because the cost is determined by the size of your property. An inspection of a smaller property could cost between $200 and $300 on the low end of the spectrum. The cost of a typical sized dwelling in a regional area is usually between $400 and $500. A comprehensive inspection in a metropolitan location can cost anything from $800 to $1000.

Getting a pre-purchase inspection on each house you look at might quickly add up. Wait until you’ve viewed the house you want to buy, but don’t let your desire to own it prevent you from paying for an examination. If you notice flaws, you can renegotiate a lower price, or you can walk away and find your dream house elsewhere.

Are House Inspections Allowed in Melbourne?

Yes. By arrangement only, private home inspections for a new purchase or end-of-lease can be scheduled.

Inspections in person are restricted to one household per inspection, and the agent must remain outside the entire time. There must not be any existing occupants present.

Outdoor auctions for up to 50 fully vaccinated people are permitted, subject to density restrictions.

What Are the Mandatory Building Inspections in Victoria?

Pre-slab Inspection

We check the concreter’s soil cutting according to the engineer’s designs during the pre-slab inspection. This is in preparation for the house’s foundations. Additionally, we ensure that the footings can support the house’s load-bearing capacity and that the earth is sufficiently compacted. After that, the steel reinforcement can be installed.

Steel Inspection

We check to see if the concreter laid the steel for the concrete slab appropriately. After the steel is permitted, the concrete must be poured rapidly, which is another good reason to acquire the inspection results quickly. The concrete is poured over the reinforcement once our inspector has given his approval.

Frame Inspection

Our employees check all components of the frame, including the bracing, beams, stud work, bottom plate, and nailing, to ensure that it was built according to the engineer’s specifications. This is a crucial element of the inspection process, and it is frequently the longest and most difficult.

Final Inspection

We make sure the residence is safe and suitable for habitation right before the owner moves in. The final inspection is very important as it will identify the existence of any major issues that the builder needs to rectify before the handover.
