Inspections

Buying a home in Rockbank VIC

Rockbank sits between the new estates filling in around it and older established housing further west along the corridor. That mix changes what an inspection is for. A newly finished estate home suits stage inspections and a pre-handover; an established property further out suits pre-purchase and pest work, where the findings run to measured cracking and moisture rather than unfinished work.

On older stock, cracking is measured and categorised rather than described.

Severe cracking between 4mm and 10mm warrants an engineering opinion.

Trees close to foundations draw moisture unevenly from reactive ground.

Mould inside is usually the visible end of a moisture problem outside.

FAQ

Buying a home in Rockbank VIC: common questions

Which inspection do I need?

It depends on the property, not the suburb. A near new estate home suits a pre-handover or stage inspection; an established house suits pre-purchase, and building and pest if there is any timber at ground level.

How quickly can you attend?

Usually within two to four business days, and quicker when a contract date demands it.

Does the inspector go into the roof?

Where access is safe. Anything unreachable is recorded as not inspected rather than passed.
