FAQ

Buying an established home in Melton South VIC: common questions

Worth inspecting a newer home?

Yes. The failures here are water and workmanship, and both cost more once the house is yours.

How quickly can you attend?

Two to four business days, faster where a contract deadline demands it.

Does the inspector get up into the roof?

Where access is safe. Whatever cannot be reached is written up as not inspected.
