Are you thinking about putting your property on the market? Help sell your Brisbane home by providing the assurance of a pre-sale termite inspection report. Providing prospective purchasers with a report saves them time and could provide a definite advantage, particularly in areas known for termites.
- Selling your home?
- Auction?
- Open for inspection?
Avoid the embarrassment of the buyer’s pest inspector finding termite activity. Why not provide a copy of our report to your real estate agent or attach a copy on the auction conditions sign board?
What do these inspections involve?
A pre-sale inspection helps Brisbane homeowners by ensuring the property is free from termites, borers and fungal decay (also known as wood rot), using non-invasive methods of assessment including thermal cameras and moisture meters. Inspecting all of the visible areas and timber throughout your property, we also look for any conducive conditions that will make your home more appealing to timber pests. This is essentially the same as a pre-purchase assessment, however you’ll have the advantage of finding any issues before you sell your home, and therefore be in the best position to decide the correct course of action for your situation.
Our qualified team inspects all accessible areas of your property including:
- Outdoor areas (trees and stumps, external timbers around the property and fencing)
- Indoor areas (timber frames on windows, doors and skirting boards)
- Garages
- Outbuildings (sheds and workshops)
- Under the floor (where sub floor is accessible)
- Roof timbers.
Things you should know
It is important for home owners to know that the majority of property sale contracts include a building and pest inspection clause. This means after the inspections are complete, a buyer may try to renegotiate the price if there have been issues found with the property. The most common issues that lead to renegotiation are structural faults and a lack of termite protection. That is why a pre-sale inspection is so important. Get your home inspected today before it hits the market, as this will allow you to identify any problems and resolve them instead of losing thousands of dollars, or failing to find buyers.

- Treat the termites,
- Fix the problems,
