Building and Pest Inspection Melbourne West
Melbourne West is a wonderful place to live. The weather is mild, the people are friendly and there are plenty of things to do.

Pre-purchase building inspections
A pre-purchase building and pest inspection is an important step to take when considering buying a property. A building inspector will check for any structural damage and pests, and provide a report on their findings. This can help you make an informed decision about whether or not to proceed with the purchase.
Pre-purchase pest inspections
When you are buying a property, it is important to have a pre-purchase pest inspection carried out. This will help to identify any pests that may be present in the property and allow you to make an informed decision about whether or not to proceed with the purchase.
A pre-purchase pest inspection should be carried out by a qualified and experienced pest inspector. They will carry out a thorough inspection of the property, looking for evidence of any pests that may be present. Once the inspection is complete, they will provide you with a report detailing their findings.
If any pests are found during the inspection, the pest inspector will recommend treatment options. They may also recommend that you do not proceed with the purchase of the property if they believe that the pest problem is severe.
If you decide to go ahead with the purchase of a property that has been inspected and found to have pests, it is important to have the property treated by a professional pest control company. This will ensure that the pests are eradicated from the property and prevent them from returning in the future.
Why you need both
If you're buying a property, it's important to get both a building and pest inspection. A building inspection will assess the condition of the property, while a pest inspection will check for any signs of pests or damage.
Having both inspections done will give you a better idea of the condition of the property and whether there are any issues that need to be addressed. It's also a good idea to get an inspection before you finalise your purchase, so that you can negotiate on the price if necessary.

I wholeheartedly recommend Michael for any property inspection needs.read moreread lessSharmarke Ibrahim8/23/2024I recently used Star Building Inspections for a building and pest inspection, and I was very pleased with the service. Michael was thorough and professional, providing a detailed report that was easy to understand. He not only identified the issues but also provided suggestions on how to fix each defect found. After sending the report, he took the time to discuss any questions we had and made it clear that we could reach out to him anytime if we needed further advice. The entire process was smooth, and I felt confident in the information provided. I would highly recommend Star Building Inspections to anyone looking for a reliable inspection service.read moreread lessMuhammad Ihsan (Ihsan)8/20/2024Michael is very professional and skilled and knows his work.

Michael's report pointed out defects with our building that we would never pick up or be made aware of. Michael's report was thorough and easy to understand. Michael gave us very good advice on what to look out for and has also recommended a re-inspection prior to hand-over to ensure the defects on the first report were rectified. We took on this recommendation and had a second inspection which gave us the confidence and peace of mind that we need before handover.

Thank you Michael!!read moreread lessAudrey D'cruz4/20/2024I engaged Michael on 2 occasions when looking for property. First time round he discovered a "major defect" - water leaking from shower into next room. I had verbally been told by real estate agent that an inspection had been done and there were no problems. Very grateful to others who encouraged me to get an independent report & not one recommended by the agent. He saved me tens of thousands of dollars in repairs and headaches. So when he gave me the all clear on the second property, l felt confident in putting in an offer. I believe Michael is known to real estate agents as being very thorough, which is exactly what l want as a customer and purchaser. Michael didn't hesitate to forward his credentials so l could check he was actually registered on the VBA website - unlike one other inspector who was very confident until l asked for his credentials and couldn't be found on the website as registered. I now understand the phrase - buyer beware. Thanks Michael, I'll be forever gratefulread moreread lessBarb King4/05/2024As a first home buyer going through all the processes are quite scary. When it came to the building and pest inspection we had no idea what to expect or who to go to. We stumbled upon Michael and from receiving a quote, having a consultation on the process and post-inspection review Michael eased our nerves and assured us everything would be ok. Michael’s report thoroughness was clear and concise and he even called us to go through all the terminology to make sure we understood everything. His attention to detail is 10 out of 10 and photos clearly outlined any and all minor and major defects - with recommended actions to take to fix. Michael takes a lot of pride in his work and he is someone that can be trusted. It is hard to come by someone who cares and loves what they do so much that you know they’ll put in 110%. Michael will put in 10,000%. I will be recommending Michael to all my friends who require his services, I highly recommend Michael to anyone seeking a building and pest inspector and will definitely seek his again in the future. Thank you Michael!!read moreread lessDylan & Maria4/02/2024

We inspect for termites, wood decay, fungal decay, borer damage, inadequate ventilation, rising damp, condensation and water leaks. We also check the condition of the roof, guttering and downpipes, as well as the structural integrity of the property.
The importance of using a Registered Building Practioner
When it comes to building and pest inspection in Melbourne West, it is important to use the services of a Registered Building Practioner (RBP). This is because an RBP is a professional who has the skills and qualifications to carry out these types of inspections. They will also be able to provide you with a report that is accurate and complete. And most importantly, a lot of real estate sale contracts state that the sale can be cancelled during the cooling-off period ONLY IF major problems have been reported by a Registered Building Practitioner.
