Our efficient and reliable Caulfield building inspectors can assist with any of these services:

137B Owner Builder Reports

If you’re looking to provide potential buyers of your property with a Section 32, we can assist you in preparing the necessary legal documentation. This documentation is mandatory for obtaining builders warranty insurance if building works worth $16,000 or more have been undertaken on the property. We can ensure that all the required information is included and that the process is carried out smoothly.

New Home Building Inspections

With our comprehensive New Home Building Inspections, you can have the reassurance that your selected builder is contractually obligated to address any potential defects that may have arisen during the construction process. This ensures that you can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that your investment is protected and that any issues will be addressed by the builder.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Thanks to our comprehensive pre-purchase inspections, our professional building inspectors in Caulfield can work closely with you to negotiate and bargain with confidence during the purchasing stage. By identifying any issues beforehand, we can equip you with the necessary information to make informed decisions and negotiate effectively. You can rely on our expertise to help you navigate the purchasing process with confidence.

Pool Inspections

In Australia, comprehensive inspections of pool fences and barriers (which includes gates, hardware, vegetation, and landscaping that could potentially be climbed) are a legal obligation. We conduct thorough inspections to ensure compliance, and if upgrades are not necessary, we register the safety status of your pool fence with the local council. You can rely on us to carry out in-depth assessments of your pool fence and provide you with peace of mind knowing that it meets all legal requirements.

Dilapidation Inspections

Building companies are required to undertake these inspections (and receive a report detailing the results) before commencing any construction work. Compliance with this requirement is mandatory.

  I highly recommend Ian from Solid Start Property Inspections. We were advised that we needed a 137B inspection report, so I contacted Ian and he was incredibly helpful from the beginning. He arranged to attend our property the very next morning, which was fantastic given the short timeframe we were working with.
Ian was thorough, professional and very pleasant to deal with. The inspection was completed efficiently, and we had the completed report within just two hours. His communication, attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our needs made the whole process easy and stress-free.
Thank you, Ian, for your excellent service. I would have no hesitation in recommending Solid Start Property Inspections to anyone needing a professional and reliable property inspection.

  Ian Stewart provided an incredibly efficient and effective service for our owner builder inspection report and informed us about  insurance options.  All those positive reviews are spot-on - as was Claude AI which recommended Ian as its number one choice for an inspection service in Melbourne.

  Unbelievable service today from Ian Stewart at Solid Start Property. Spoke to Ian last Wednesday as we weren’t sure if a 137b was required. Appointment organised for today at 12pm. Ian was on time and so efficient. He made the whole process simple and straightforward. He really knows his audience and makes everything easy to understand and on top of that he is genuinely a really nice guy and he very fairly priced. I had imagined wrongly the report may take possible weeks to complete, but how wrong I was. Have received the report just now. Incredible….,4 hours turnaround!! Thank you Ian for your expertise and timely report. I can’t thank you enough and will recommend you to friends and family every-time.

  If I could give Ian 1000 stars I would! He was a life saver! I found out I needed a s137b owner builder report 36 hours before an auction. Ian managed to squeeze my house inspection in between his jobs! He understood the urgency and help do the inspection and provide a report within 8 hours!! Ian also was about to recommend a company that could assist in issuing the insurance on-time as well!

  This is how it is done.

Good and quick communication.
Fast turnaround and pleasant to deal with.
All one can ask for.

I am happy to recommend Ian for anyone looking to get an inspection done.

My 137b was from me reaching out, sorted and report in hand, in 3 days. Could perhaps have been quicker but I was the one that was slow at getting back to Ian's email.

Thanks Ian
