Common questions asked about buildinginspectiongeelong.com.au

1. What’s included in a combined building and pest inspection?

A combined building and pest inspection typically covers the condition of the property’s structure plus relevant pest-related risks, all in one visit. Our inspections are designed to be practical and report-focused, identifying visible defects and signs of pest activity so you understand what’s going on before you commit to a purchase (or take further action with an existing property). You’ll receive a written report you can use to support negotiations or decision-making. We also aim to make the process clear and efficient.

2. How does a pre-purchase building inspection help when buying a property?

A pre-purchase building inspection helps you understand the true condition of the home before you buy. Instead of relying on promises from an agent or vendor, an independent inspector assesses what’s actually there—such as the state of the building and any concerns that may affect safety, maintenance, or future costs. After the inspection, you’ll receive a written report that clearly outlines findings. Reports are typically returned within 24 hours in most cases, so you can act quickly during your buying timeframe.

3. What is a 137B Owner Builder report, and who needs one?

A 137B Owner Builder report is a specific type of assessment required for Victorian owner-builder situations involving a sale. If you’re a seller (or dealing with an owner-builder property), the report provides a documented inspection of the work and its compliance/condition for the transaction. Buildinginspectiongeelong.com.au can complete Section 137B reports so the process is handled professionally. This includes a thorough inspection by independent inspectors and a written report you can use for the sale process.

4. What’s the difference between a pre-purchase pest inspection and a termite inspection?

While both focus on pests, they’re not exactly the same. A pre-purchase pest inspection looks for a broader range of pest-related issues and signs that may impact the property. A termite inspection is more specifically targeted at detecting termite activity and related damage risks. If you’re unsure which is required, we can help you understand what a suitable inspection should include for your property and concerns. Both types are delivered via clear written reporting so you’re not left guessing.

5. Do you service both Geelong and Melbourne’s west, and how quickly will I get my report?

We prioritise speed because property decisions often need to happen quickly.
