The cost of a pre-purchase inspection in Melbourne depends on the property size, property type, access, and whether you also want a pest inspection. A bigger or more complex property usually takes more time and can cost more to inspect.
If you are comparing options, start with the pre-purchase building inspection page and the building inspection cost guide to understand the broader price factors.
What affects the price?
- property size
- house, townhouse, unit, or apartment type
- combined building and pest scope
- site access and roof access
- age and visible condition of the property
Why price should not be the only factor
The cheapest inspection is not always the best value if the report is unclear or rushed. A strong report should help you make a buying decision with confidence.
What you should receive
Look for a clear written report, photos of defects, plain-language findings, and practical recommendations. Those are the parts that matter when you are deciding whether to buy.
