Pre-Purchase Pest Inspectionsin Sydney

Same day. We schedule timber pest inspections specifically around cooling-off deadlines, and if it's urgent we'll tell you upfront whether we can make your date.

No. This is the timber pest component under AS 4349.3. A building inspection covers structural and defect issues under AS 4349.1. Most buyers book both, and we'll tell you honestly if a builder needs to look at something we've found.

We quote each property individually and confirm the fixed price before booking. Larger properties, acreage and homes with extensive sub-floors are quoted after a quick chat about the build. Request a free quote and we'll respond the same day.

The report documents the activity, the location and the likely extent, with photos. That gives you a factual basis to renegotiate, request treatment as a condition, or walk away inside cooling-off.

Yes, and we encourage it where the agent allows access. Seeing the sub-floor or roof void findings yourself makes the report far easier to act on.

Features that make termite attack more likely: garden beds or paving above the slab edge, covered weep holes, leaking taps or air-conditioning condensate against the perimeter, timber in contact with soil, stored timber under the house, and poor sub-floor ventilation.

No. AS 4349.3 inspections are visual and non-invasive, supported by thermal imaging, moisture meters and tapping. We don't cut or drill without the owner's written permission.

Areas we can't safely or reasonably access - inside wall cavities, under fixed floor coverings, behind stored goods, or roof voids and sub-floors with no access hatch or clearance. Every restriction is listed in the report rather than glossed over.
