At Little Critters Pest Control, we understand that buying a property is a significant investment. Whether you’re purchasing a new home or a commercial building, it’s crucial to know the condition of the property before finalising the deal. Termites can cause extensive damage, compromising the structural integrity and value of your investment. That’s why our comprehensive pre-purchase termite inspections are essential.
What Is a Pre-Purchase Termite Inspection?
A pre-purchase termite inspection, also known as the “timber pest” element of a building and pest report, provides a detailed assessment of the property’s condition. Our licensed pest inspectors thoroughly examine the property, identifying any existing termite activity, damage, or potential risks. Here’s what our inspection covers:
- Visual Inspection: We leave no stone unturned. Our experts inspect both the interior and exterior of the property, including walls, roof cavity, sub-floor, fences, gardens, and more.
- Species Identification: If termites are detected, we identify the species. Different termite species respond differently to treatment, so accurate identification is crucial.
- Safety Hazards and Defects: Our report highlights any significant building defects, safety hazards.
Why You Need a Pre-Purchase Termite Inspection?
- Early Detection: Identifying termite issues before exchanging sale contracts allows you to address problems promptly. Ignoring them could lead to costly repairs down the line.
- Negotiation Power: Armed with our inspection report, you can negotiate a fair price for the property. You’ll know the extent of any issues and their potential impact.
- Expert Advice: Our specialists provide advice on major problems and their long-term effects. Make informed decisions about your investment.
