Visual Timber Pest Inspections and Reports

Visual Timber Pest Inspections and Reports

Also commonly known as Pre-Purchase inspections.

A Visual Timber Pest Inspection and Report should be undertaken by all prospective home buyers.

It is important that the inspector you choose is a Pest Controller who is qualified, licensed, insured and specialises in

termite inspections as well as the treatment of termites.

There have been many cases where people have bought a home without having the Visual Timber Pest Inspection

undertaken and after moving in find the house has been attacked by termites which have caused many thousands of

dollars damage. It can cost $2000 - $5000 (or much more) to treat.

Buying a home is often the most important investment you will ever make.

Having a Visual Timber Pest Inspection carried out before you exchange contracts may very well save you money

in the long term -- you may even decide not to purchase the home if active termites or extensive structural damage is found.

We also strongly recommend that prior to the exchange of contracts you arrange for the vendors to sign an affidavit advising

whether they are aware of any Timber Pest activity and/or damage to the property and the extent of any treatment programs or repairs.

This will help protect you if Timber Pest damage has been covered up.

Consult your legal representative on the wording and nature of the affidavit.
