Pest Inspection
A pre-purchase pest inspection is a thorough visual inspection of the property which aims to identify any evidence of past or present termite activity within and around the property. The inspection will identify any damage to the property caused by timber pests which may require maintenance or repair or may be a major concern or safety issue to the property.
Areas inspected for termite activity or damage include –
- The sub-floor
- Roof void
- Internal rooms
- External walls
- Trees on site
- Timber fences
- Outbuildings, such as garages and sheds
- Timber furniture
The pest inspection covers potential defects including –
- The presence of termite activity past and present
- Termite damage
- Significant decay
- Poor sub-floor ventilation
- Past termite treatments where evidence is provided
After the pest inspection is carried out a thorough pest report is provided which will give any potential property buyer clear information on any evidence of termite activity or damage found within the property which is essential before you purchase a property. This will be supported by clear images of any defects found. The report will also provide recommendations for any treatment necessary for termite activity present and/or the prevention of further termite attacks.
