Buying an established Fraser Rise home? A visual inspection to AS 4349.1 before your cooling off ends.
One of our inspectors will call you back. If it is urgent, call 1300 471 805.
A pre-purchase inspection follows AS 4349.1: a visual inspection of the readily accessible areas reporting major defects, conditions conducive to structural damage and safety hazards. Timber pest work is booked as its own inspection to AS 4349.3.

Usually within one or two days, and contract deadlines get priority. The report reaches you within a day of the visit.
Wiring, smoke alarms, gas, plumbing pressure, appliances, heating, cooling, pools and garage door motors are not tested. Nothing is opened up, no footing is exposed, and asbestos, mould species and timber pests sit outside AS 4349.1. Areas we cannot reach safely are named in the report.
Yes. Many Fraser Rise resales are only a few years old, and the handover items that were never fixed are still there. A young home may also still be inside the builder's warranty period, which changes what a defect is worth to you.
Where a hatch is there and the space is safe to enter. If ducting or low clearance stops us, the report records the space as not inspected and why.
