Check the warning signs
Before you exchange
Know what you are buying.
Before you sign.
Buying in Sydney is expensive enough without inheriting a termite problem. A pre-purchase timber pest inspection tells you whether there is active termite damage, past damage, borers or rot, and whether the property has conditions that make future problems likely.
We work to the Australian Standard for timber pest inspections and turn the report around quickly, because auctions do not wait. You get the facts you need to negotiate, budget, or walk away.

Know the problem
What does a pre-purchase inspection look for?
We identify the pest, find where it is living and choose the treatment that suits your property.
Previous damage and repairs
Old damage matters. We flag it so you know what has happened before and what may have been patched over.
Borers and wood decay
Timber pests are more than termites. We check for borer activity and fungal decay in floors, frames and wet areas.
Conditions conducive to attack
Poor drainage, garden beds against walls, stored timber, leaking taps and blocked vents that will cause trouble later.

It is an inspection of a property you are buying that looks for termites, borers and wood decay, plus the conditions that make timber pest attack likely. The findings come to you as a written report.
In most cases the report is with you the same day or the next day after the inspection, so you have it before auction or before contracts.
