Specialised pre-purchase termite inspection
What is a specialist pre-purchase termite inspection?
A specialist pre-purchase home inspection involves the thorough inspection of a home prior to purchase. This inspection looks specifically for evidence of existing termite damage or activity and conditions likely to attract termites in the future. We also look for signs of fungal decay, wood rot and other types of pests, such as wood borers, that may be of concern to the property.
Specialist pre-purchase termite inspections are often required as part of the pre-purchase process when buying a property and must be carried out by a licensed timber pest inspector in accordance with Australian standards AS4349.3 — 2010.
How does a specialist pre-purchase termite inspection work?
A specialist termite inspection for pre-purchase is carried out by one of our licensed, highly trained and experienced service technicians to the highest standard. They will conduct a thorough inspection of the property, inside and out, both visually and using our specialist equipment to look for any signs of termite damage or other concern.
They will then provide a comprehensive report and overall evaluation of the property so you can make a fully informed decision regarding the purchase.
When do we recommend a specialist pre-purchase termite inspection?
We recommend using our specialist pre-purchase termite inspection service when you are purchasing a property and your general pest inspector cites your property as being at high risk for attracting termites.
