A comprehensive pre-purchase building and pest inspection is a crucial step in the property buying process, empowering you with invaluable insights into the condition of your potential new home. By combining a full pre-purchase inspection with a pest inspection, you receive a comprehensive assessment at a significantly reduced cost. Our expert team assesses the property to identify potential safety hazards, understand maintenance requirements, uncover major structural defects, and detect timber pest activity. The building inspection carefully checks structural components including foundations, walls, roof, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors, as well as exterior areas like gutters, downpipes, balconies, and staircases. We thoroughly examine all accessible interior and exterior areas for signs of water damage, leaks, dampness, mould, poor workmanship, or general wear and tear. Bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry areas are checked for moisture-related issues. If accessible, the roof void and subfloor areas are inspected to assess the condition of timber structures, ventilation, and insulation. The pest inspection focuses on identifying termite activity, termite damage, timber pests, and conditions that may attract pests, such as excess moisture or timber in contact with soil. We utilize the latest technologies, including Termatrac thermal, radar, and moisture sensors, to ensure no detail is missed. You will receive a comprehensive 50+ page report with high-resolution photos and clear recommendations within 24 hours.
