What We Look For in Regional Victoria Homes
Goldfields-era homes
Ballarat and Bendigo have many 19th-century brick and weatherboard homes where footings, damp and roof structure need careful assessment.
Owner-builder work
Sheds, extensions and whole homes built by owner-builders are common in regional areas. If you’re selling within six and a half years, a Section 137B report is generally required.
Coastal exposure
On the Surf Coast and Mornington Peninsula, salt air accelerates corrosion of roofing, fixings and balustrades.
