When you’re buying or selling a property, it’s important to get a combined building and pest inspection. This will ensure that both the structure of the building and any pests present are identified and dealt with before you finalize the sale.
A combined inspection is also a good way to identify any potential problems early on, so you can budget for repairs if necessary. It’s always better to know about these things before you buy or sell a property, rather than after the fact!

What is a Pest inspection
Should be called a termite inspection as we are looking predominantly for termites and damage caused by termites.
A pest inspection is an examination of a property to identify any pests that may be present. This includes insects, rodents, and other animals that can cause damage or spread disease.
Pest inspections are particularly important when buying or selling a property, as they can help identify any potential problems with the building that need to be fixed before you move in or out.
