A Building and Pest inspection will provide investors with peace of mind, knowing that the property they are buying is structurally sound, doesn’t have any pest problems and has generally been maintained. The Building Inspection will ensure that the building conforms to the Australian Building code, identifying any structural defects or other issues, for example rising damp, that may be missed by the untrained eye. Similarly, a Pest Inspection will investigate the property to check for the presence of any wood-destroying insects, such as termites or borers. The inspection will also identify any existing damage caused by those pests already, plus any potential damage they could cause in the future.
