Pre purchase building and pest inspections are an important part of the property market, and you should aim to complete them in the early cooling off stages of the buying process. It is important to have your building inspected by a licenced builder.
Why is a pre-purchase pest & building inspection important?
There are many reasons why a pre-purchase pest & building inspection is important. These include:
- Identify safety hazards present at the property
- Identify any major defects
- Make a plan of action for repairs and maintenance
- Identify damage caused by timber pests including termites, wood borers and wood rot
What’s included in 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, systems, and finishes, as well as the presence of any pests or other potential hazards.
Here are some key components of a pre-purchase pest and building property inspection:
- Visual inspection: The inspector will visually assess the condition of the property, including the exterior, interior, roof, and other accessible areas.
- Structural assessment: The inspector will examine the foundations, framing, and other structural components of the property to ensure that they are in good condition.
- Systems assessment: The inspector will assess the condition of the electrical, plumbing, heating, and cooling systems in the property.
- Finishes assessment: The inspector will assess the condition of the finishes, including the walls, flooring, and other surfaces, to ensure they are in good repair.
- Pest inspection: The inspector will look for evidence of pests, such as termites, borers, and wood-rotting fungi, and assess the extent of any damage.
- Hazard assessment: The inspector will identify any potential hazards, such as asbestos or lead-based paint, and recommend any necessary testing or remediation.
- Report: The inspector will provide a written report outlining the findings of the inspection and any recommendations for repairs or further action.
