Property Inspection Checklist for Melbourne Buyers

A property inspection checklist helps buyers stay focused on the important parts of a property before making a decision. It is a simple way to compare what should be checked against the report you receive.

If you are comparing services, start with the pre-purchase building inspection page and the report reading guide for the buying context.

Checklist items

  • roof space and roof exterior
  • subfloor or accessible undercroft areas
  • internal walls, ceilings, and floors
  • wet areas, drainage, and moisture signs
  • visible structural issues and cracks
  • termite or pest indicators where relevant

Why the checklist matters

It is easier to make a decision when you know what a proper inspection should cover. The checklist also helps you compare services more fairly.

What a good report should show

A good report should show the issue, explain why it matters, and give you enough detail to decide whether to negotiate or proceed.

This is useful across Melbourne and surrounding suburbs such as Pakenham, Berwick, Point Cook, Werribee, Craigieburn, Dandenong, Frankston, Mornington, Melton, Clayton, Sunshine, Truganina, Tarneit, Williams Landing, Hoppers Crossing, Epping, and Mickleham.
