Pre-Purchase Building Inspections in Frankston

Buying in Frankston? A building inspection is a smart way to check what you’re really getting before you commit.

Frankston has a bit of everything – older coastal homes, renovated properties, units, townhouses and newer builds. Some issues are obvious when you walk through. Others are easy to miss, especially if the property has been freshly painted or dressed up for sale.

At Bear Bottom Inspections, we look over the property properly and give you a clear report on what we find. That can include moisture problems, poor ventilation, roof wear, corrosion, movement in older homes, or defects from past building work.

The goal is simple – to help you buy with your eyes open. Whether the report gives you peace of mind, helps with negotiation, or makes you think twice, you’ll have a much better understanding of the property before making your next move.

What’s included in your inspection

Our inspections cover:

• Structural condition and movement

• Roofing, gutters, and drainage

You will receive a detailed report that is easy to understand and practical to act on.

I’m extremely grateful for the team at bare bottom inspections. I needed a last minute building and pest inspection and bare bottoms were able to do it the same day I enquired. They were professional, reliable and the report is delivered the same day in a manner that is clear, concise and easy to understand. Thanks again for allowing the lead up to my first home purchase to run smoothly!

I had the opportunity to work with Rodney, who was verythorough in his report. He also made a courtesy call after the inspection was done to clarify the key findings and answer any questions I had. I hold his knowledge and customer service in high regard, and I plan to continue using Bear Bottom Inspections for future building and pest reports.

We have had two pre-purchase inspections done and were very happy with the service. They were prompt, communicative and extremely thorough. I was able to attend one of the inspections with Steve, and he was really helpful and took his time walking me through the property and his assessments. Thanks very much Bear Bottom team!

Professional, fast and well written reports on the building and pest inspections. They also provide a follow up to discuss the property that has been inspected and can advise accordingly within their scope.

Bear Bottom Inspections provided an exceptionally thorough pre-purchase building and pest inspection. Their inspector was prompt, very detailed, and took the time to explain key structural and moisture issues over the phone. The comprehensive digital report arrived fast, making this a five-star experience that gave us total peace of mind.
