Buying a property is one of the most important decisions you will make, and getting the complete picture before purchasing is essential. A Combined Building & Pest Inspection from House Inspections Victoria is our most comprehensive service, ensuring you are fully informed about both the structural condition and any pest risks. By combining expert knowledge from both the building and pest control fields, this package saves you time and money, helping you avoid the hassle of multiple appointments. With over 30 years of building experience and 8 years as a licensed termite inspector, James King ensures you are aware of every potential issue. The combined inspection typically takes 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the property. It includes a full building inspection for structural integrity—covering foundations, roofing, and walls—alongside a comprehensive pest inspection targeting termites, borers, timber rot, and other pests. We assess all accessible areas, including the roof, sub-floor, and external structures. Within 24 hours, you will receive a detailed report complete with colour photographs and recommendations for repairs or treatments. Our reports are fully compliant with Australian Standards AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3. If termites are detected, we provide a detailed plan for treatment and ongoing management to protect your investment. We handle all coordination with the real estate agent or vendor and follow up with a phone call to walk you through the results, giving you complete confidence in your property purchase.
