Do I really need a Building and Pest Inspection?

Buying a property is generally the biggest financial decision you will make in your life. For a small investment, a Building and Pest Inspection by our qualified inspectors will provide you a detailed report of the condition of the property, identifying any issues you may not see, from cosmetic to structural and any hidden pests. Ultimately, providing you confidence in your purchase.  

Who carries out my inspection?

Tom L’Estrange conducts all inspections for OneHome Inspections and has over 18 experience within the industry.

Who organises my inspection?

We will liaise with the agent, tenants, sellers to arrange access to the property for the inspection.

Can I attend the inspection?

Yes! We encourage you to attend the inspection so you can talk to Tom and understand any defects onsite. If you are unable to attend, Tom will give you a call to discuss the findings before sending through the report.

How long does an inspection take?

Our combined building and pest inspections, take on average 60 to 90 minutes. The size and state of the house will dictate how long our inspection takes, with older properties or those with defects taking longer to inspect than others.

When will I get my report?

We guarantee that you will receive the building and/or pest inspection report on the same day as the inspection.

What is Thermal Imaging? And do I need it?

Tom uses a Thermal Imaging camera for every inspection. This assists him in identifying what is not always obvious on the surface, such as water leaks or termite activity. Read more about Thermal Imaging Technology here.

Do you inspect the roof void?

Yes. If your roof void is easily accessible by ladder and safe to access then Tom will inspect it. If Tom deems the roof void unsafe to enter then they will conduct the inspection as best they can by other means.

Every building and/or pest inspection is carried out in accordance with the Australian Standard.
