Written for a building and pest clause, so it lands inside the timeframe and says plainly what is wrong, what it will cost and what can wait. We inspect the accessible timber, subfloor, roof void and perimeter for live activity, past workings, borers, fungal decay and the conditions that invite all four. Vendors get the same report at the same standard, which is worth doing before the buyer's inspector finds it for you.

Included in the price

  • Full timber pest inspection to AS 4349.3
  • Live activity, past workings, borer and fungal decay all reported separately
  • Drainage, garden beds and slab edge assessed as conducive conditions
  • Report delivered same day, in time for the building and pest clause
  • A phone call to walk you or your solicitor through the findings

Asked every week

Asked about this job.

How fast can you get there?
Usually inside two business days, and we hold a slot most mornings for contract deadlines. Tell us the date on the clause when you call and we will work back from it.
Will the report kill the sale?
Rarely. Most findings are conducive conditions with a price attached, not a reason to walk away. The report separates what has to be fixed from what can be watched so you can negotiate on real numbers.
Do you inspect the sheds and the fences too?
Yes, everything within thirty metres of the dwelling that is on the property and safe to access, including sheds, retaining walls, stumps and fence lines. That is often where the nest actually is.
