Building & Pest Inspection Process

The building and pest inspection process can help to identify any potential issues that may not be immediately visible to the naked eye.


Here is what you should expect:


  1. Inspectors typically start by performing a visual inspection of the property. This may include a review of the property's structure, including the foundation, walls, roof and other major components, as well as a check for the presence of pests such as termites.
  2. The inspector may also use specialised equipment, such as thermal imaging cameras or moisture meters, to help identify potential issues. The time it will take for the inspector to complete the process could be several hours or an entire day. This will depend on the size of the property, the number of dwellings and its age.
  3. After the inspection is completed, the inspector will provide a report detailing their findings. This report will include a list of any issues that were identified, along with recommendations for how to address them. It is important to carefully review the report and consider the recommendations made by the inspector before deciding to proceed with your purchase

  • How long does a building and pest inspection take?

    The length of a building and pest inspection can vary depending on the size and complexity of the property. 


    In general, a building inspection can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day to complete.

  • How do I prepare for a building and pest inspection?

    To prepare for a building and pest inspection, you should make sure that the property is easily accessible and that all areas of the building can be safely inspected. 


    This may involve moving furniture and other items out of the way and making sure that all doors and windows are unlocked. 


    You should also make sure that all utilities, such as electricity and water, are turned on.

  • Can I request specific areas or systems to be inspected?

    Yes, you can request that specific areas or systems be given more attention during the inspection. 


    For example, you may want to request a more thorough inspection of the roof or the plumbing system. 


    It is a good idea to discuss your specific concerns with the inspector before the inspection takes place.

    After the building and pest inspection is completed, you will receive a written report detailing the findings of the inspection.

    It is generally recommended to get a building & pest inspection when purchasing a property, but you may also want to consider getting an inspection on a regular basis to maintain the condition of your property.
