Pre-Purchase Inspections
At Littlefire Building Inspections, we’re here to help you make smart, confident decisions—because buying a property is too important to leave to chance.
Our pre-purchase inspections take a thorough look at the condition of the property’s structure, including the foundation, walls, ceilings, floors, and roof. We assess for signs of damage, deterioration, or potential issues, and highlight any repairs that may be needed. You’ll receive a clear, easy-to-read report focused on what truly matters—free from unnecessary alarm or confusion.
With deep local knowledge and a calm, practical approach, we support buyers across Melbourne—from first-home buyers to experienced investors—with honest insights and advice you can rely on.

Don’t let hidden pests eat away at your investment. At Littlefire Building Inspections our timber pest inspections are designed to detect termites, borers, and other timber pests before they become a serious problem.
