Pre-Auction and Pre-Purchase Inspections in the Geelong Regional Area

Do you plan to renovate your current home? Perhaps you are a homeowner or investor who wants to know what your potential purchase looks like. Whatever your reason for a pre-purchase inspection, Just Property Inspections can help. We offer both pre-auction and pre-purchase inspections in Geelong, Bellarine, and Surfcoast.

A property inspection, based on what you’re purchasing the property for, can reveal or verify certain circumstances. For example, a pre-purchase inspection might uncover:

• Safety hazards or major defects: Rotted wood, DIY repairs, deteriorated subfloor framing/stumps or lack of safety railings can all be major hazards that need prompt repair or replacement.
• Pest damage: Fungal wood rot? Perhaps the home has a wasp problem or harbours dangerous spiders. No matter what, you need to know.
• Asbestos: This product can lurk in older insulation, walls or floors. If you want to ensure your potential home doesn’t have asbestos, we can help.

Awareness of these issues can help you with repair or maintenance costs, as well as renovation plans.

We do our utmost best to check over every aspect of the home. For example, we check both inside and out in line with Australian Standard 4349.10.

Inside, we look under the floor if possible, inside the dwelling, the attic, the walls, the ceilings and the floors. We also look closely at doors and windows, as well as the foundation and basement.

Outside, we check the roof, the surrounding landscaping such as fencing and retaining walls, and any exterior structures like carports, garages and sheds.
