About timber pest inspection
A timber pest inspection looks for termites, borers, fungal decay and conditions that attract them, which a standard building inspection does not fully cover. Termite damage is common in Australia and expensive to repair. This is usually done alongside a building inspection as a combined report.
Getting quotes in Sydney
For timber pest inspection, ask each inspector two things up front: the all-inclusive price, and how soon they can attend Sydney. If the job is not urgent, saying so can shave real money off the quote, since operators can slot you into an existing Capital Cities run.
Local knowledge counts
A business may list the Capital Cities as a service area without being available for every Sydney request. Ask about local experience, timing and the full price if the provider responds.
Quick answers
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.
Can I use the report to negotiate?+
Yes. If the report finds significant defects, buyers commonly use it to renegotiate the price, ask the seller to fix issues, or in some cases withdraw within the cooling-off period. An independent report gives you evidence rather than guesswork at the negotiating table.
