About Melbourne

Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, Australia, is a vibrant city known for its cultural heritage, sporting events, and thriving economy. With a population of over 5 million, Melbourne is home to iconic landmarks like the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the National Gallery of Victoria. The city boasts a rich history, dating back to its founding in 1835. Melbourne is recognized as a leading financial center in the Asia-Pacific region and is famous for its street art, live music, and theater scenes. With a well-connected transportation network and a reputation as one of the world’s most liveable cities, Melbourne continues to captivate visitors and residents alike.

With a rapidly growing population, Melbourne is facing a surge in housing demand. This housing expansion has significantly driven up house prices and rental rates, impacting the availability of all types of accommodation. Developers frequently offer house and land packages in Melbourne’s outskirts, where subdivisions are common. However, since the unveiling of Melbourne 2030 in 2002, planning strategies have been pushing for medium-density and high-density constructions in areas well-serviced by public transport and other facilities. As a consequence, significant brownfield redevelopment has taken place in Melbourne’s middle and outer-ring suburbs. Amidst these changes, home and property inspections in Melbourne are essential, offering you the reassurance of a safe and secure investment in your new home or property.

Thanks goodness we engaged Owner Inspections as our independent inspector for our build. The defects identified in our build have been concerning. Who knows what the finished product would have been like without these inspections.

I recently used Owner Inspections and was thoroughly impressed. The team arrived on time, were professional and efficient, and identified several issues that I wouldn't have noticed myself. Their report was detailed and easy to understand, and I feel much more confident in the condition of my property thanks to their work. Highly recommend!

Owner Inspections has done 5 inspections so far and it has been very thorough so far. Reports are given pretty much within an hour from the inspection. They have been very flexible with appointments as our SS then, kept changing the dates and times at a very short notice and Des in the office has been very helpful with short notices. Burak was the inspector who did most of our inspections and got things sorted out with the SS pretty quickly. Waiting for the PCI inspection and hopefully it turns out well. Thanks Des and Burak for your assistance throughout. 😊

High attention to detail. Our framing stage inspection was performed by Burak who provided detailed report and seems knowledgeable. The submitted report mentioned everything from a minor to a major defect which could impact the structure. Keep up the good work.
