Pre-Purchase Building and Pest Inspections in Beveridge
Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make. Beveridge has everything from new estate homes to older cottages, each with its own risks. A pre-purchase inspection tells you exactly what you’re buying, so there are no expensive surprises after settlement.
Our qualified inspectors check the property from the roof to the subfloor, covering:
- Structural elements: footings, framing and walls
- Roof space, coverings and gutters
- Subfloor areas where accessible
- Wet areas, plumbing and drainage
- Signs of dampness and water damage
- Termite activity and conducive conditions
A combined pre-purchase building and pest inspection covers both checks in one visit and one report. If your first purchase falls through, we’ll take $60 off your second inspection.
New Home and Practical Completion Inspections
Beveridge is one of the fastest-growing areas in Melbourne’s north, with estates like Mandalay adding hundreds of new homes each year. An independent set of eyes on your build is often the smartest money you’ll spend, and it protects you from paying to fix defects that should have been caught earlier.
We inspect at every key stage of construction:
- Slab stage
- Frame stage
- Lock-up stage
- Fixing stage
- Practical completion and handover
A practical completion inspection is done right before you sign off and pay the final invoice. We flag anything that falls short of Australian Standards, so your builder fixes it before you take the keys.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a building and pest inspection in Beveridge cost?
Cost depends on the property size, age, and type of inspection. Standalone checks are cheaper than combined building and pest, and larger properties take longer. Request a free quote for an accurate figure.
How long does the inspection take?
Most inspections take 2 to 3 hours on site. You’ll receive your written report within 24 hours, and often the same day. If you need it faster, we offer a 4-hour turnaround for urgent situations.
Do you inspect new homes in Beveridge estates like Mandalay?
Yes. We do a lot of practical completion and construction progress inspections across Beveridge’s growth estates, at slab, frame, lock-up, fixing and handover stages. Catching issues early means your builder fixes them, not you.
Do I need a separate termite inspection?
Not usually. A combined building and pest inspection covers both checks in one visit and delivers everything in one report. If you only need a standalone termite inspection, our pest control team can help.
Can I attend the inspection?
Yes, and we encourage it. Being on site means you can see any issues first-hand and ask your inspector questions in real time. If you can’t make it, a free phone consultation after you receive the report is always included.
