From apartments near the CBD to Victorian terraces in Brunswick, Inspectra provides thorough pre-purchase building inspections across Melbourne's inner suburbs. Period homes in this area frequently present with rising damp, decayed subfloor timbers, non-compliant balustrades, and leaking wet areas. Our detailed reports give you the full picture before you commit to what may be the largest purchase of your life.
Melbourne's inner suburbs — Essendon, Brunswick, Coburg, Moonee Ponds, Kensington, and surrounds — contain a wide variety of property types, from Victorian-era terraces and Edwardian cottages to 1960s flats and modern apartments. Older homes frequently present with rising damp, ageing subfloor timbers, and non-compliant alterations. Apartments carry their own risks: Inspectra checks for water ingress, inadequate waterproofing in wet areas, stairway compliance, and evidence of building movement or concrete cancer in older blocks.

Inspectra's pre-auction inspection service is designed for exactly this — fast scheduling, thorough inspections, and same-day report delivery so you can bid knowing what you're buying.
