Interstate & overseas relocation
Moving to Melbourne and can’t get to the inspections?
Melbourne agents won’t process your application unless someone attended the open home. We go in your place — assess the property honestly, speak to the agent, and send a same-day report with your inspection code so you can apply.
Packages from $1,199 · One-off inspections from $89

Applying from interstate? You’re competing with one hand tied behind your back.
Melbourne works differently to Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. Here’s what trips up almost every relocating renter:
No inspection code, no application
Most Melbourne agents require an inspection code on the application form — issued only to someone who physically attended. No code, and your application usually isn’t processed, however strong it is.
Local applicants get there first
Good properties get 10–20 applications within 48 hours. If you can’t attend and apply fast, the place is gone before you’ve booked a flight.
Weeks of temporary accommodation
Searching after you arrive means paying for short-stays while the search drags on. Starting before you land changes everything.
We become your eyes on the ground
Four steps, and you never have to be in Melbourne for any of them.

Trusted by people who’d never seen Melbourne
“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.”
“I required a rental inspection on very short notice (less than 24 hours), and they accommodated immediately. A highly thorough walkthrough and a comprehensive report with clear photos and videos just three hours after the inspection. Honesty, speed, and real dedication — I cannot recommend them highly enough.”
“Fantastic service. Excellent detailed report provided on time with great photos and videos. I would highly recommend Jake to anyone who needs an inspection completed.”
