Building & Pest Inspections Before You Buy
Protect your investment. Avoid hidden defects. Buy with confidence.
A combined building and pest inspection is the most critical step you can take before signing a property contract. It provides a comprehensive visual assessment of a property’s structural condition and timber pest activity, helping you avoid inheriting expensive problems after settlement.
A combined inspection is the industry standard for due diligence in Australia. It is more cost-effective than booking separate inspections and gives you a complete view of the property’s condition in a single visit.
Protect Your Investment
A professional building and pest report gives you real leverage before you buy:
✔ Renegotiate the purchase price
✔ Request repairs before settlement
✔ Walk away if major defects are found
✔ Avoid unexpected repair bills
Many Australian property contracts include a building and pest clause, giving you legal protection if serious issues are discovered.
Don’t risk thousands in hidden repair costs. Get the facts before you commit.
All safely accessible areas of the property are inspected, including interior walls, ceilings and floors, roof voids and sub-floor areas, foundations and structural elements, and any signs of cracking, moisture damage or movement. The inspection also looks for active termites, previous termite damage, wood borers, and fungal decay such as timber rot. Exterior areas including the roof, gutters, drainage, external walls, decks, patios, sheds, fences, and site drainage are visually assessed. Potential safety hazards such as unstable structures, loose handrails, and visible electrical or plumbing risks are also identified.
On-site inspections usually take between 1 and 2 hours. A detailed digital report with clear photos is typically delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Combined inspections offer better value than separate bookings, with pricing based on property size and location.
