Buying off the plan means committing to a property that did not exist when you signed. The pre-settlement inspection is the first and often only opportunity to see what was actually delivered against what was sold.

It matters most on the townhouse and low-rise developments through the newer Tarneit estates, where finishes and inclusions are the usual point of difference between the display and the delivered dwelling.

What the inspection covers

  • Every room checked for finish quality, damage and incomplete work
  • Inclusions and finishes compared against the contract schedule where provided
  • Wet areas: waterproofing evidence, falls, tiling, silicone and tapware
  • Windows, doors and balustrades for operation, seals and safety compliance
  • Balcony or courtyard drainage and weatherproofing
  • A numbered, photographed defect schedule to send to the developer

Why this matters in Tarneit

Townhouse developments in Wyndham are typically delivered in batches against a settlement deadline, which puts the final trades under the most time pressure of the whole build. Finish defects, incomplete caulking and damaged surfaces from the last fit-out are the recurring findings.

How it works

From your first call to the report

  1. 1

    Tell us the property

    Address, stage and your deadline. A settlement date or an auction date changes how we schedule.

  2. 2

    Fixed quote back

    A fixed price for the scope, not an hourly rate. From $400 for a standard Tarneit home.

  3. 3

    We arrange access

    On a new build we contact the site supervisor directly. On a purchase we deal with the agent.

  4. 4

    The inspection

    Thermal imaging, moisture meters and termite radar where the scope calls for them.

  5. 5

    Report within 24 hours

    Photographed, numbered, plain English, formatted to forward straight to your builder.

  6. 6

    Talk it through

    Call the inspector to walk through the findings and what to do about them.

FAQs

Apartment Pre-Settlement Inspections — common questions

When can I inspect before settlement?

Usually in the final week before settlement, once the developer issues an access window. Book as soon as you have the date, because those windows are short.

Can I delay settlement over defects?

That depends entirely on your contract, and it is a question for your conveyancer. What the inspection gives you is the documented list that any such conversation depends on.

Do you check the inclusions against my contract?

Yes, where you supply the schedule of finishes. Send it through before the inspection.
