Pre-Purchase Timber Pest Inspections Sydney

What we cover

Our pre-purchase timber pest inspection covers:

Termite activity — current infestations, past damage, and conditions that increase risk.

Wood borers — active and past borer activity in structural and decorative timbers.

Decay fungi — fungal damage and conditions that make timber vulnerable.

Risk assessment — areas of moisture, timber damage, and conditions that make the property vulnerable to future timber-pest activity.

We use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters on every inspection to detect activity that isn’t visible to the naked eye. The report is written the same day and covers everything we found — clearly, without jargon.

Timing — book early

Sydney cooling-off periods for residential purchases are typically 5 business days. That’s not much time. We recommend booking your pre-purchase inspection as soon as contracts are signed — ideally the same day.

We service all of Sydney and can usually accommodate bookings within 24 to 48 hours.

How the report helps you

If timber pest activity or damage is found, your written report gives you documentation to support renegotiating the purchase price, requesting the vendor carry out treatment before settlement, or withdrawing from the purchase within the cooling-off period.

If the property is clear, you go to settlement with confidence.
