Why do I need a building and pest inspection?
Obtaining a building and pest inspection before you invest or sell your home, could save you thousands on costly building repairs or damage caused by timber pests that you may not have known exist !
But remember, If you get an inspection, Make sure he or she is a licensed builder and holds an EPA timber pest licence with insurances ! No exceptions ! Ask the question.
If you are buying a property,
Combined building and pest inspections are most commonly carried out by the purchaser of a property to identify any building, safety and pest issues that may devalue the property.
Banks and financial institutions in some instances want to ensure that the property has no unknown defects, thus the money they are lending is a low risk investment and safeguarding the investor.
Building and pest inspections include an assessment of potential timber pest issues such as termites, borer, timber decay, mould and any other conditions that may attract timber pests. The building inspection should be undertaken by a licensed builder to identify any structural defects and safety issues. Inspections should also include the use of equipment that can detect termites in concealed areas such as the Termatrac T3i
Structural defects or Pests in a building if unidentified can cost the purchaser a lot of money to rectify. These can include structural movement, cracking, damage concealed behind walls caused by termites and safety such as un inadequately supported verandahs and so forth.
If you are selling a property,
A combined pre-sale building and pest inspection is carried out exactly the same way as to if you were purchasing the property however the advantage is that the inspection provides the vendor with vital information prior to listing and enables time to rectify saving a-lot of money on aggressive negotiations or re listing due to sales falling over.
If Pest and Structural issues are identified or not, prior to sale enables speed of sale and peace of mind knowing the property is in good order. Note: In addition to a building inspection, You should also engage a licensed plumber and electrician to ensure the adequacy of pipework and electrical items.
