Why you need to invest in Perth pest inspection services

Why you need to invest in Perth pest inspection services

Buying your own home is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make. It's important to know that you are investing your money wisely. Buying a home with termite activity or structural defects damage can involve significant additional costs, just as you are taking on a mortgage.

Unfortunately, termites are part of our lives in Australia. They can do significant damage to the timber structure of any home. A pest inspection by Australian Property and Building Inspections will provide you with the information you need before purchasing a property. Our inspectors also check for signs of wood borers and fungal activity or wood rot.

Pre-purchase home inspections

Inspectors are able to assess any property prior to purchase, whether you are buying at auction, privately, or through a real estate agent. We recommend a building and pest inspection prior to bidding on a property at auction, or before your purchase contract becomes unconditional.

A pest inspection will identify any current pest activity or defects at the property. Pest inspectors will be able to advise you regarding the extent of damage and activity and how best to manage it. Not only that, we are able to identify past activity on the property and the structural integrity of the property.

Choosing to have a building inspection prior to purchase gives you the information needed to make an informed decision about the home purchase. If pest damage or defects are found, you have several options. You may choose to negotiate the price, request repairs are undertaken, or cancel the contract of sale. If the house is to be sold at auction, you can make an informed decision about bidding.

Regular pest inspections

Regular pest inspections are recommended for properties in the Perth region. Homeowners may not notice small changes that indicate pest activity. Our inspectors are trained to identify the early signs of pest presence on your property. Early intervention and pest control limit the damage pests can do to your home. Treatment at this stage is relatively simple. It is also less costly to control pests early, minimising the extent of their damage.
