It’s always a good idea to have a pest and building inspection. For several hundred dollars – the average cost of an inspection – on a several-hundred-thousand-dollar investment, it’s peace of mind.
There are two types of pre-purchase inspection – building and pest. The former is a visual inspection of the entire accommodation, both inside and out, that identifies anything from major structural faults to minor defects, maintenance issues and safety hazards.
The inspector is someone you will pay separately to your legal fees. The conveyancer will not review the inspection report as they have not walked through the house.
A pest and building inspector will look for pests, in particular termites, the structure of the building, as well as any other additions to the house such as retaining walls.
