New home stage inspections in Wyndham Vale
An independent stage inspection checks your new home at each milestone of the build, so defects and incomplete work are raised with your builder before they are covered over. When Victoria’s building regulator ran two inspection blitzes in 2024-25 focused on growth corridors, it found 33 unregistered or unlicensed people working across 23 of the more than 1,200 sites it visited, which is one reason owners choose an independent set of eyes at each stage.
Pre-purchase building and pest inspections in Wyndham Vale
Buying an established home? A pre-purchase building and pest inspection checks the house inside and out, the roof space, the roof and the subfloor, and looks for termite activity and timber pest damage. If you are buying at auction, Consumer Affairs Victoria advises getting the inspection report before auction day, because conditions cannot be added to an auction contract without the vendor’s agreement.
