About Melbourne Rental Inspections

Melbourne Rental Inspections attends rental open homes on behalf of renters who can't be there in person. We are not a building, pest or structural inspector. Our service is built for one job: helping people find a home to rent in Melbourne when they can't attend inspections themselves and need someone they can trust to attend honestly and report back the same day.

I'm Jake, and I started Melbourne Rental Inspections after watching how hard the Melbourne rental market is on people moving from a distance. I've personally attended hundreds of inspections across inner and outer Melbourne for renters relocating from interstate and overseas. When you work with us, you're not getting an anonymous gig worker who bid the lowest price, you're getting a consistent, accountable service that treats your rental search the way it would treat its own.

Why I started this

I started this service after seeing what interstate renters go through trying to find a rental in Melbourne from a distance. Agents who won't even have a conversation without inspection attendance, applications submitted remotely, only to be told that the property is gone because someone local turned up, weeks of unplanned temporary accommodation while the search drags on. That experience should not be necessary. Melbourne's inspection attendance requirement effectively excludes interstate and overseas renters from competing on equal terms unless someone attends on your behalf. That's exactly what we do.

Trusted by renters across Melbourne

Since starting, we've attended hundreds of rental inspections across inner and outer Melbourne for renters relocating from interstate and overseas — and we're proud of the five-star reviews our clients have left:

• "Super helpful — attended a last minute inspection on my behalf and sent through a comprehensive video, photos and report with points for us to consider before submitting a rental application. I would 100% recommend to any interstate movers looking to secure a rental property in Melbourne." — Kate C.
• "Exceptional service, absolute professionalism and integrity! I required a rental inspection on very short notice (less than 24 hours), and Melbourne Rental Inspections accommodated my request immediately… a comprehensive report with clear photos and videos just three hours after the inspection." — Chrissy E.
