Common questions in 5007
How much does a building and pest inspection cost?+
A combined pre-purchase building and pest inspection commonly runs $400 to $700 depending on the size and age of the property and your location. It is a small cost against the price of a home and can reveal issues worth many times the fee. Book early so the report fits your cooling-off period.
How long does a building and pest inspection take?+
The on-site inspection of an average home usually takes one to two hours, and most inspectors deliver the written report the same day or within 24 hours. Ask about turnaround before booking if you are working to a tight contract deadline.
What does a building inspection cover?+
A pre-purchase building inspection is a visual check of accessible areas covering structural elements, roof, walls, floors, wet areas, and safety hazards, reported against the relevant standard. It does not open up walls or cover items behind finishes. The report notes major defects and areas needing further advice.
Is a pest inspection separate from a building inspection?+
Yes. A timber pest inspection specifically targets termites, borers and timber decay, which a building inspection does not fully cover. Most buyers order a combined building and pest report, which covers both in one visit and is cheaper than booking them separately.
When should I book a building and pest inspection?+
Book it as soon as your offer is accepted so the report is ready within your cooling-off or subject-to-inspection period, which is often only a few business days. Leaving it late can force you to choose between rushing or losing your inspection right.
