Business Profile
Finalinspect is a registered business (ABN 43 680 138 070) that specialises in thoroughly inspecting and reporting on the condition of new and established homes, town houses, apartments and units throughout metropolitan Melbourne, Victoria. We conduct building inspections in all suburbs, 7 days a week.
In addition, we provide home, town house, apartment and unit inspection services to clients throughout Australia and also conduct building inspections and write reports on behalf of clients residing outside Australia (e.g. foreign investors purchasing property in Australia and expatriates returning home to Australia from overseas).
We have extensive experience inspecting new homes, town houses, apartments and units at all stages of construction and conducting pre-purchase inspections on established homes, town houses, apartments and units and producing professional, fully detailed, plain English, typed inspection reports.
In relation to a new home, town house, apartment or unit, our reports list what defects exist and state why they are defects (e.g. by reference to the Building Code of Australia and/or relevant Australian Standards). We then outline what the relevant builder should do to rectify the stated defects.
The owner is then well prepared to either: notify the relevant builder of all identified defects and request rectification of all identified defects, prior to making the relevant stage of construction payment (e.g. base stage, frame stage, lock up stage, fixing stage or final payment); or use the defect list to negotiate with the builder, a reduction in the final price paid for the property.
In relation to an established home, town house, apartment or unit, our reports list all visible and/or audible defects, and state what rectification and / or maintenance works (e.g. re-stumping, under-pinning, painting, replacement of gutters and downpipes etc.) need to be carried out in the short term (i.e. next 12 months).
Those purchasing a home, town house, apartment or unit can then use the Finalinspect report (together with our cost estimates) to help negotiate a reduction in the price paid for a property (in relation to a private property sale), or to help determine the maximum price they are prepared to bid for a property at auction.
All of our home, town house, apartment and unit inspections and reports comply with, and exceed, the relevant Australian Industry Standard AS 4349.1 (Inspection of Buildings, Property Inspections - Residential Buildings).
Finalinspect is a member (No. 876406) of the Housing Industry Association (HIA) and strictly abides by the HIA Member Code of Ethics. An experienced Finalinspect consultant is available to talk to you and inspect your home, town house, apartment or unit or the property you are interested in, seven days a week.
