Combining Your Termite and Building Inspection
Most buyers choose to combine their pre-purchase termite inspection with a full building and pest inspection, since both are carried out on the same visit at a discounted combined rate. A building and termite inspection Melbourne wide gives you a complete picture: structural condition from the building inspection, and timber pest activity from the termite inspection, in one report rather than two separate visits.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a pre-purchase termite inspection?
A pre-purchase termite inspection is a visual assessment of a property for signs of termite activity, such as mud tubes, damaged timber, or discarded wings, carried out before you commit to buying.
Should I combine my termite inspection with a building inspection?
Yes, most clients combine both inspections into one visit. It is more cost effective than booking separately and gives you a single, complete report covering both structural condition and pest activity.
How much does a pre-purchase termite inspection cost in Melbourne?
Pricing depends on whether the termite inspection is booked on its own or combined with a building inspection. See our Prices page for current rates, or call 0488 339 686 for a tailored quote.
What signs of termite damage will an inspector look for?
Our inspectors check for visible signs such as mud tubes along foundations and walls, damaged or hollow-sounding timber, discarded wings near windows and doors, and any damp or affected areas where termites are more likely to be active.
How long does a pre-purchase termite inspection take?
A standalone termite inspection typically takes around an hour, though this can vary with the size of the property. When combined with a building inspection, the full visit usually takes two to three hours, with your report delivered the same day.
What happens if termites are found during the inspection?
If we find evidence of termite activity, we document it clearly in your report with photos and practical recommendations, so you can negotiate with the seller, arrange treatment, or make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the purchase.
