Before you buy a new home, your solicitor or conveyance will probably recommend that a licensed builder inspect the building for general building and structural defects prior to settlement. The Combined Pre-purchase Building/Termite and Timber Pest Inspection will ensure that any building defect(s), which may adversely affect the safety, amenity, and structural integrity of the building or health of any occupants is bought to the notice of the intended purchaser and includes the location and identification of termites and borers if they are present.

Just think, you could save a few hundred dollars by opting out of either a pre-purchase building inspection or Termite and Timber Pest Inspection. It may seem tempting on the surface, but making sure the building you are purchasing is safe, requires no expensive repairs and conforms with council regulations is absolutely essential. It could stop you from making the biggest financial mistake of your life.

Steve can also give you advice from the perspective of a builder as to the severity of building damage and make recommendation’s identifying when specialist engineering assessments are required and otherwise what works are required, by which trades, to undertake rectification.
