Greater Geelong Building & Pest Inspections
Buying a property is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make, so knowing exactly what you are purchasing is essential. A property may look well maintained during a quick inspection, but important building defects and maintenance concerns can be difficult to identify without a detailed professional assessment.
At Greater Geelong Building & Pest Inspections, we provide thorough Pre Purchase Building Inspections Geelong property buyers can rely on. Our inspections are designed to identify visible building defects, potential safety concerns, maintenance issues and areas that may require further attention before you commit to a property.
With 25 years of construction industry experience, Shane Reardon brings practical knowledge and a detailed approach to every inspection. Whether you are purchasing an established home, investment property, townhouse or other residential property, our goal is to help you make your decision with greater confidence.
A property can look perfect on the surface while still having issues that are not immediately obvious. Cracking, moisture problems, roof concerns, drainage issues, deteriorated materials and other defects can potentially become expensive if they are overlooked.
A professional Pre Purchase Building Inspection Geelong service gives you a clearer understanding of the property’s current condition before you proceed with your purchase.
Understanding these issues before purchasing can give you valuable information when assessing the property and planning for future repairs or maintenance.
Finding a defect is only part of the process. Understanding what has been identified is equally important.
Following the inspection, we provide a detailed written report outlining the findings from the property assessment. Photographic evidence is included where appropriate to help clearly demonstrate identified defects and areas of concern.
The report can help you understand:
We also provide a follow-up phone call after the inspection so you can discuss the findings and ask questions about the report.

We inspect accessible internal areas for visible defects, deterioration, movement, moisture concerns and other issues that may affect the condition of the property. This can include living areas, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and other accessible spaces.
Bathrooms, laundries and other wet areas can experience moisture-related problems over time. We assess visible conditions and look for signs that may indicate water damage, deterioration or other concerns.
Accessible roof and ceiling areas are assessed for visible issues that may affect the property. We look for signs of deterioration, moisture concerns, damage and other defects that may require attention.
Where accessible, the subfloor area is inspected for visible concerns such as moisture, deterioration, structural issues and other conditions that could affect the property.
