What is included

What is included in a Wyndham Vale pre-purchase building inspection

A pre-purchase inspection is a visual inspection of readily accessible areas, reported under AS 4349.1. It records significant items: structural damage, conditions that can lead to it and safety hazards.

Site drainage

  • Ground falls, paving levels and downpipe discharge.

Brick veneer

  • Cracking, sill cracks and articulation joints.

Weep holes

  • Open, clear of soil and high enough above the ground.

Roof covering

  • Tiles, flashings and how downpipes discharge onto them.

Roof space

  • Signs of water passing through and where exhaust fans terminate.

Upper floor safety

  • Window opening restrictors and balustrade height.

Wet areas

  • Grout, sealant and staining around showers and toilets.

Floors and doors

  • Springy floors, binding doors and visible movement.

8 checkpoints across 8 areas on a standard Wyndham Vale pre-purchase building inspection. Anything locked, buried under stored goods or behind a sealed panel on the day is listed in the report as not accessed, so you know exactly what was and was not seen.

FAQ

Pre-Purchase Building Inspections in Wyndham Vale: common questions

What does a pre-purchase inspection exclude?

AS 4349.1 is visual and covers readily accessible areas only. It does not test electrical, gas or plumbing systems, appliances, heating and cooling, pools or automatic garage doors, and it does not cover timber pests, asbestos or mould testing, concealed framing or footings below ground.

Is a ten year old Wyndham Vale house worth inspecting?

Yes. Most of what we find on homes of that age is about water management and safety, and an upper floor window with no restrictor is still a hazard on a new house.

How quickly can I get a pre-purchase report before an auction?

Book as early as you can. The report reaches you within 24 hours of the visit, and often the same day.
