CTP Pest & Building Inspections provides comprehensive pre-purchase pest and building inspections across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter Valley, Port Stephens, and the Central Coast, extending to surrounding areas like Maitland, Cessnock, and Singleton. As an accredited member of the Australian Society of Building Consultants registered with NSW Fair Trading, our team brings over 120 years of combined industry experience. Each of our inspectors is a licensed builder with a minimum of 25 years of field experience, having collectively completed over 15,000 inspections. We are fully trained to detect even the smallest defects in your prospective home. We utilize cutting-edge technology, including specialty thermal imaging cameras, to identify and measure heat and moisture patterns invisible to the naked eye. This allows us to detect hidden roof leaks, plumbing leaks, moisture behind wall cavities, poorly installed or missing insulation, and active termites—issues typically not covered by standard home insurance policies. Our aim is not to scare you, but to provide honest, factual, unbiased, and expert solution-based advice you can trust. We handle all the hassle by coordinating directly with your real estate agent to organize the inspection on your behalf. Following the physical site visit, you will receive a clear, user-friendly, and easy-to-understand comprehensive report on the same day, typically within 12 hours. Afterward, our inspectors are available to discuss the report in its entirety, answering any questions you may have to ensure you can make a fully informed property decision.
