When making one of life’s biggest investments, you want complete confidence in the property you’re buying or selling. At Elevate Building Inspections, we provide comprehensive property inspection services in Melbourne, helping homeowners, buyers, sellers and investors understand the real condition of their property.

Our licensed inspectors offer detailed assessments and easy-to-understand reports, giving you clear, actionable insights to make confident decisions — whether it’s purchasing your first home, preparing to sell, or protecting your investment portfolio.

Based in the Diamond Valley, our licensed property inspectors thoroughly assess the structural integrity, safety, and overall condition of both residential and commercial properties in Doncaster, Templestowe, Doreen, Diamond Creek, Eltham, Greensborough, Bundoora, Macleod, Montmorency, Heidelberg, Rosanna, Epping, Ivanhoe, Reservoir, Croydon, and surrounding suburbs.

What’s Included in Our Property Inspections

We combine years of industry expertise with advanced inspection techniques to identify both visible and hidden issues.

A standard property inspection may include:

Full internal and external inspection – walls, ceilings, flooring, roof voids, foundations, and subfloor (if accessible)
Structural integrity checks – including cracks, subsidence, uneven flooring and visible movement
Moisture and water damage detection – identifying leaks, dampness, mould, or signs of poor drainage
Plumbing and electrical system checks – for obvious faults or safety issues
Roof, gutters and drainage inspection – ensuring key areas are watertight and functional
Pest and termite activity detection – identifying damage or conditions conducive to infestation
Maintenance and safety concerns – to help plan repairs and avoid future costs

Each inspection concludes with a detailed property inspection report containing photos, defect categorisation, and practical recommendations for repair or monitoring.

When Do You Need a Property Inspection?

Booking a professional property inspection in Melbourne can save you thousands of dollars and unnecessary stress. Here’s when it’s most valuable:

Before buying a property – uncover hidden defects before signing a contract or settling.
Before selling a property – provide transparency and build buyer confidence with a pre-sale inspection.
Before renovating or extending – understand the existing structure before investing in design and construction.
For ongoing property maintenance – identify small issues early and avoid costly repairs later.
For investment properties – protect your portfolio and maintain compliance with rental safety standards.

Whether it’s a modern townhouse, heritage home or new build, Elevate gives you a complete picture of the property’s condition so you can make informed, confident decisions.

Satisfied Customers

"Ryan provided an excellent pre-property inspection service. He was very thorough and professional, arrived promptly, and is a great communicator. He made himself available to assist me every step of the way. I really appreciated his attention to detail and clear guidance. I would happily recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy inspector."

"Marc was excellent from the moment the enquiry was made. He responded promptly and professionally and managed the process with the agent to make it stress free. The inspection was carried out in a very short timeframe and resulted in an amazingly comprehensive and thorough report within a few hours of the inspection. I would highly recommend"

"Ryan went above & beyond for my first time buying a house. The house inspection was well organised & frictionless, I didn’t have to organise anything & report was very professional. Helped me negotiate a slightly better price for my first buy, will be using him again soon. His building background & ballpark estimates were especially helpful outside of the report in gauging what the costs were gonna be for the existing issues at the property."
