Pre-Purchase Building Inspections in Mooroolbark

Buying in Mooroolbark? A building inspection is a sensible step before signing off on a property purchase.

Mooroolbark has plenty of established homes, larger family properties, units, townhouses and homes that have been renovated or extended over the years. With older homes in particular, issues can sit beneath the surface. A property may look well kept at inspection time, but still have concerns around moisture, roofing, drainage, movement or past building work.

At Bear Bottom Inspections, we look over the property carefully and give you a straightforward report on what we find. That can include visible defects, structural concerns, roof and gutter issues, poor ventilation, drainage problems, timber pest damage or signs that repairs have been done without fully solving the underlying issue.

The purpose of the inspection is not to alarm you. It is to give you clear information so you can make a better decision before you buy.

What’s included in your inspection

A Mooroolbark building inspection may include checks of the roof, roof space, internal rooms, wet areas, subfloor access points, exterior cladding, brickwork, drainage, paths, decks, pergolas, garages and other visible areas connected to the home.

Because many Mooroolbark properties sit on generous blocks, we also look closely at how the building and surrounding areas work together. Poor drainage, sloping ground, older retaining walls, damp subfloor conditions or tired external timbers can all affect the long-term condition of a home.

You will receive a report that sets out the issues clearly, with photos and notes that make it easier to understand what you are dealing with.
