Pest Report / Inspection

A Pest Inspection, also known as a ‘Timber Pest Inspection’ is recommended before purchasing a property to ensure that no hidden structural issues exist. Timber pests include termites, wood borers and wood decay fungi (wood rot). These timber pests are common in all properties and can undermine timber structures.

All homes contain timber elements that are vulnerable to attack from timber pests. It is estimated that one in five Albury Wodonga properties contain some form of termite activity.

WHEN SHOULD ALBURY WODONGA BUYERS ARRANGE A Pest AND Building INSPECTION?

There is a generally a ‘cooling–off’ period when you purchase a property and exchange contracts.

Many buyers arrange a Pest and Building inspection during the cooling off period. We recommended arranging your inspection prior to the exchange contracts to give you time to process the information, allowing you to adjust your offer based on the pest and building inspection findings if required.

Combining the Pest and Building Inspection is strongly recommended as it provides you with full insight into a property. We are available to carry out Pest and Building Inspections from Monday to Friday.
