BUILDING INSPECTIONS MALVERN SERVICES
Independent licensed inspectors within the Leading Building Inspections network can assist throughout your property journey – from construction and purchase to investment and ongoing maintenance.
Building & Pest Inspections
Don’t risk buying a property with hidden defects or costly pest damage. Whether it’s your dream home or an investment, an independent licensed inspector can provide a comprehensive Building & Pest Inspection to help you make an informed decision with confidence.
PCI Practical Completion Inspections
Make sure your new property is handed over in top condition. An independent licensed inspector can carry out a thorough inspection to identify minor defects, omissions, imperfections and poor workmanship, both inside and out. You'll receive a clear, detailed report from the inspecting licensee so you can address any issues with the builder before moving in.
Tax Depreciation Schedule
Maximise your property investment returns with a tax depreciation schedule prepared by an independent qualified provider. A depreciation report can help identify eligible property deductions in line with ATO requirements, so you can make informed decisions when managing your investment at tax time.
Dilapidation Survey
A Dilapidation (Condition) Report documents the condition of a property before construction begins. An independent licensed inspector records any existing damage and provides a clear baseline to help identify any changes or damage that may occur during the construction process. The report provides property owners with an important record that can assist in assessing whether repairs or compensation may be required.
New Build Stage Inspections
Keep your build on track with independent inspections at every stage of construction. An independent licensed inspector can identify structural issues, workmanship defects and potential non-compliance with approved plans, providing a clear, detailed report to help you address any concerns with your builder before they escalate. These inspections can give you greater confidence and oversight throughout the construction process.
Swimming Pool Safety Fence
Compliance
Ensure your swimming pool or outdoor spa meets the applicable local safety regulations. When selling, buying or renting a property with a pool, it must comply with the relevant pool safety requirements in your state. An independent licensed inspector can assess pool barriers and safety equipment and provide a report outlining any identified issues or areas requiring attention.

Detailed Reports You Can Rely On!
Every inspection report is prepared by the independent licensed inspector in accordance with Australian Standard AS 4349.1-2007, with quality photos and video evidence documenting identified defects, all explained in plain English rather than technical jargon.
