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 Unley
A good inspector will quote timber pest inspection clearly: labour, materials and callout itemised, licence details offered without prompting, and a realistic timeframe for Unley. If a quote is dramatically below the others, ask what it leaves out. There is usually an answer.
Local knowledge counts
Operators who regularly work the Inner Adelaide area know the housing stock in Unley and the faults that come with it, which shows up as faster diagnosis and fewer surprises. Local familiarity is worth asking about when you compare quotes.
Quick answers
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.
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.
