Building or buying a house is incredibly exciting. Budget permitting, you can build or buy the house of your dreams, just as you want it – from the number of bedrooms to the outdoor entertaining area! When it comes to building or buying a house, you can also rest assured that there are no structural or maintenance concerns – after all the home is new, right?
Unfortunately, this simply isn’t the case. While new homes and existing should be free from any defects or issues, this is not always true. Many new homes are built in accordance with very strict time constraints in this day and age – just take a look at those new housing estates that seem to pop up over night! With this being the case, it is important to make sure you have a professional new home inspection carried out before you move in.
What’s involved?
There are many aspects of a building that can shift, fail, warp, degrade, or otherwise suffer defects over time. For this reason, it’s important to take time with an inspection and ensure that every possible point of interest is covered. When undertaking existing and new home inspections in Melbourne, we look at a variety of things including (but not limited to):

Trust us for independent expert advice
At Melbourne West House Inspection, we are able to check over your existing and new home prior to hand-over, ensuring everything is built and finished off to the specified standards. Making it clear to your builder that you intend to have an inspection carried out, also ensures they are aware that the quality of their work is being monitored. Existing and new house inspections should be carried out before you hand over that final payment to the builder or vendor; after this time it can be harder to convince them to rectify any issues.
Our qualified, experienced inspectors will carry out a comprehensive check, ensuring everything is in order. If any issues are found, we’ll prepare a clear report for your builder or agent which outlines what needs to be fixed/amended. These issues should be taken care of by your builder or agent before hand-over is completed.
