Pre-Purchase Building & Timber Pest

What is a premium pre-purchase inspection?

A comprehensive assessment conducted before buying a property. It examines both the structural integrity of the building and potential timber pest issues, giving you a detailed report you can actually act on.

  • Structural Insights — a visual evaluation of the foundation, walls, roof and overall structure.
  • Timber Pest Analysis — detection of termites, wood decay and other timber-related concerns.
  • Defect Identification — documentation of existing and potential issues affecting safety and value.
  • Actionable Recommendations — clear guidance on repairs, maintenance and pest control.
  • Negotiation Power — make informed decisions and potentially negotiate the purchase price.
