Inclusions of a pre-purchase pest and building inspection
A pre-purchase pest and building property inspection is a comprehensive assessment of the condition of a property, including the structure, foundations, and finishes, as well as the presence of any pests or other potential issues.
Here are the key elements that are typically involved in a pre-purchase pest and building property inspection:
- Structural inspection: This involves a visual examination of the property’s structure, foundations, and finishes, as well as the use of specialised equipment, such as moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras, to identify any potential issues.
- Pest inspection: This involves a thorough inspection of the property for the presence of any pests, such as termites, borers, and wood rot fungi. The pest inspector may use a variety of techniques, including tapping and probing the wood, as well as the use of specialised equipment, to detect the presence of pests.
- Roof inspection: This involves a visual examination of the roof and roofing materials, as well as the use of specialised equipment, such as endoscopes to inspect hard-to-reach areas.
- Plumbing and electrical inspection: This involves a review of the property’s plumbing and electrical systems to ensure they are in good working order and compliant with relevant codes and standards.
- Gas appliance inspection: This involves a review of any gas appliances in the property, including gas heaters, water heaters, and gas stoves, to ensure they are in good working order and comply with safety standards.
