Pre-Purchase Building Inspections in Tullamarine

Buying in Tullamarine? A building inspection can help you understand the property properly before you make a final decision.

Tullamarine has a mix of established homes, units, townhouses and newer developments, with parts of the suburb shaped by its proximity to Melbourne Airport, freeway access and nearby industrial areas. Property condition can vary from well-maintained homes through to older properties that may need closer attention.

At Bear Bottom Inspections, we inspect the visible and accessible areas of the property and provide a straightforward written report. That may include structural movement, moisture issues, roof wear, poor drainage, corrosion, cracking, visible pest damage or defects linked to past repairs and renovation work.

A pre-purchase inspection helps you understand what you are buying before you commit, rather than discovering issues after settlement.

What’s included in your inspection

Your Tullamarine inspection may include internal rooms, wet areas, roof space, roof exterior, accessible subfloor areas, external walls, garages, carports, driveways, drainage, fences, verandahs, decks and other visible areas around the home.

For Tullamarine properties, we may pay particular attention to the condition of external materials, roof plumbing, drainage, garages, paved areas and any visible signs of wear around older sections of the property. Where homes have been updated or converted over time, we also look for defects that may not be obvious from the way the property has been presented for sale.

You will receive a report that sets out the findings clearly, with photos where they help show the issue.

Why choose Bear Bottom Inspections

Tullamarine is the kind of suburb where buyers may be looking for value, access, convenience or a practical family home. Whatever the reason for buying, it is still important to know what condition the property is in.

We provide independent inspections with clear reporting and no unnecessary drama. If something is minor, we will say so. If something may need further investigation, we will make that clear as well. The aim is to help you make the next decision with better information.

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.
