Pre-purchase building inspections · Mildura & Sunraysia
The kind of inspection only a builder can give you.
I'm Acton. I've been a licensed builder in Mildura for fifteen years. Now I write the kind of pre-purchase inspection report I'd want before buying a house myself — plain English, real photos, a video walk-through, and a phone call the same day to talk you through it.
Why Wayfare
Three reasons buyers choose us over the franchises.
Pillar 01
Builder, not box-ticker.
An inspector who has actually built the houses he inspects. That's the difference between reading a checklist and reading a craftsman's notes.
Pillar 02
Local by birth, not by ad spend.
Born and raised in Mildura. I know the soils, the suburbs, the building stock, and the defects that show up in this climate.
Pillar 03
A report worth reading.
Plain English. Photos of every finding. A short video walk-through. Severity ratings so you know what's urgent and what's cosmetic.
How it works
Booked online. Done in 48 hours. Talked through on the phone.
- You book online. Choose your property, pick a date, pay by card. Takes about three minutes.
- I walk the property. Two to three hours on site. Roof to sub-floor, every room, structural through to finish.
- You get the report in 24 hours. A clear PDF with photographs, severity ratings and a short video summary.
- We talk it through. I ring you the day the report lands to answer questions and explain what matters for the purchase.
