Frequently asked questions
-
In Victoria, it’s common for the buyer to pay for the building inspection. It’s part of your due diligence as you purchase new property. However, in some cases, a seller will provide a report to prospective buyers.
-
Typically, a building and pest inspection report will cover the following reports:
- A structural report — checking the building’s subsidence, faulty plumbing, roof leaks, foundational cracks, and more.
- Drainage reports — looking at any problems with your structure’s drainage systems.
- Roof report — checking your roof for any missing components or leaks.
- Pest damage report — examining the presence of any pests like mice, termites, and so on, and lining out any damage to the property caused by these pests.
- Exterior damages — including damage or problems with your carport, windows, external walls and so on.

The cost of a building and pest inspection in Melbourne will depend on a few factors, like the size of the property, renovation status, locations, and others. On average, the costs can go from $300 to $1,200 (including GST) to start. That includes the inspection and report.
-
If a report comes back and you aren’t happy with the condition of the home and want to back out, you’re allowed to. But there’s a slight chance you won’t fully get your earnest downpayment back. Try to convince the seller to lower the sale rate or address the issues before you complete the purchase process.
-
Coordinate with your seller on the best time and date to complete the inspection. Clear the property of any clutter and obstructions.
It helps if the seller can inform the inspector of any issues that they might know about and provide documentation if available. Secure any pets and turn on all utilities for proper inspection.

Vendor-supplied inspection reports are not the most trustworthy option. It’s always better to get your own inspector and have them produce a report for you.
