An in-depth analysis of your Greenvale property to ensure you’re making the best investment decision.

Greenvale is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 21 km north of Melbourne’s central business district. Its local government area is the City of Hume. Greenvale is located between Yuroke and Attwood, on Mickleham Road.

Although positioned only ten minutes from Melbourne Airport, Greenvale has been up until recently known as a semi-rural area, characterised by larger farm holdings to the north of the town centre (past Somerton Road). Three of these farms (the one bordering Aitken College is known as “Hacienda”) are now planned for development into a new housing estate. This will continue the trend for Greenvale in undergoing further residential development, with several new estates appearing in the suburb itself and in nearby areas such as Attwood and Bulla. Greenvale is a mixture of old and new development. Older areas are referred to as “The Toorak of the North” (sic) for their grand and stately homes.

Housing estates include:

  • Greenvale Lakes is a housing estate located in the suburbs of Roxburgh Park and Greenvale, close to the Greenvale Reservoir. A new school has been built in Greenvale Lakes called Kolbe Catholic College Greenvale Lakes.
  • Aspect Greenvale is a housing estate located in Greenvale that overlooks the Greenvale Reservoir and the city skyline.

What areas do pre-purchase inspections cover?

Roof

Roofs can be prone to both internal and external issues. Our inspectors assess the interior cavity of the roof for insulation, framing and sarking problems, and the exterior of the roof for issues regarding tiles, gutters, downpipes, eaves, vents, and flues to identify any defects or damage.

Floor

Floors are a foundational element in houses and floor issues can create compounded problems. Our inspection will evaluate the floor for any issues regarding the framing, posts, stumps, ventilation and check for blocked vents, rising damp, surface water or dry rot.

Living areas

Our inspection covers all of the internal rooms in the house, including the kitchen, living rooms, bathrooms, ensuites, bedrooms and hallways. Within these rooms, we hone in on the features like doors, windows, stairs, wardrobes, carpets and tiles, and storage spaces, because defects are common in these spots.

Outside areas

Outdoor spaces vary the most from one property to another but rest assured, we cover all the outdoor features on a property to assess for defects or damage. This might include patios, pergolas, shades, exterior stairs, garages and sheds, driveways, fences and paths. Then we turn our focus toward the technical aspects like walls, doors, windows, water systems and drainage, to ensure you’re not hit with any surprises down the road.
