Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Pre-Purchase Pest Inspection?

A Pre-Purchase Pest Inspection is a specialized assessment conducted by a licensed professional before you finalize the purchase of a property. This crucial inspection is designed to identify any existing or potential pest problems that could cause significant damage and financial loss after you buy the home.

Specifically, the inspection involves a thorough examination of the property for:

  • Active Pest Infestations: Evidence of termites (white ants), borers, rodents, or other pests currently in the structure.
  • Past Pest Damage: Signs of previous infestations that may have weakened timber or other building materials.
  • Conducive Conditions: Factors that could attract future pest problems, such as wood-to-soil contact, excessive moisture, or poor ventilation.

The inspector provides a detailed pest inspection report outlining their findings. This report is a powerful tool that empowers you, the buyer, to make an informed decision—whether that’s negotiating repairs, requesting a price reduction, or, in severe cases, withdrawing your offer to avoid a costly mistake.

In essence, it’s an investment in peace of mind, protecting you from the hidden expenses of pest-related structural damage in your new Melbourne home.

Many Melbourne suburbs are prone to termite activity. An inspection is your only defence against buying a property with hidden, costly damage that isn’t visible during a standard walk-through.

While some signs like mud tubes (from termites) or frass (bore dust) are visible, the most damaging infestations are often hidden within walls and subfloors. Our technology and expertise are needed to detect them.

For a standard 3-4 bedroom house, a combined building and pest inspection typically takes 1.5 – 2 hours.
Building Pest Inspection is an integrated service. Instead of hiring two different inspectors, you get one qualified professional who simultaneously looks for structural faults and pest-related damage. This is more efficient and often more effective, as the inspector can immediately determine if a crack is just cosmetic or a sign of termite activity, for example.
Yes, a primary focus of the pest component of our inspection is to locate evidence of past or active termites (white ants), which are a major threat to Melbourne homes. We pay close attention to high-risk areas like sub-floors, roof voids, and damp spots where termites are often found.
You should book as soon as your offer is accepted, typically making it a condition subject to a satisfactory building pest inspection during the cooling-off period. Contact us immediately to secure your appointment due to the time-sensitive nature of property purchases.
The cost is a smart investment that protects you from massive future expenses. The price is based on your property’s size and type, but we provide upfront, fixed-fee quotes with no hidden charges. Contact us for a competitive quote tailored to your Melbourne property.

We understand speed is critical. You will receive your detailed, easy-to-understand report with photos via email within 24 hours of the inspection. We also recommend being present at the end for a verbal summary of our key findings.
