Our report is designed to provide prioritised, clear advice that can be used to evaluate the condition of the property and also as a guide for future maintenance priorities.
Most purchasers like to know precisely what they are buying, especially whether the property they are considering has any major building problems. A combined Building and Pest Inspection draws the purchasers’ attention to the severe issues and provides the information they need to know about the condition of a property they’re considering for purchase.
Our consultants have recognised Building and Timber Pest qualifications and are trained in identifying damp, termites, wood borers, mould and fungus.
Our Report will tell you about:
- Serious unexpected problems which might be difficult or expensive to fix or may not be accepted by future buyers
- Problems that previous owners might have lived with but which do not really affect the use or value of the property and,
- Issues that you need to investigate further
- Serious unexpected problems which might be difficult or expensive to fix or may not be accepted by future buyers
- Problems that previous owners might have lived with but which do not really affect the use or value of the property and,
Issues that you need to consider investigating further if you are purchasing a unit:
- Sinking Fund balance
- Special Levies
- Insured value of the building
- Previously completed Reports by Engineers or Building Consultants and
- Quotes and invoices from planned or completed major repair work
Written Reports are available by close of business the day after the inspection is carried out.
For an additional charge, an urgent same-day service can be arranged on request.
Pest inspections are meant to provide advice that can be used to evaluate the condition of a property and to offer building owners guidance for future maintenance priorities. These reports are conducted by licensed individuals who are able to determine construction damage or potential damage from insects, bugs, termites or dry rot conditions.
If you plan to purchase a property in auction, you need to get the building and pest inspection done because Tyrrells building inspectors are going to tell you everything that is wrong, so you can make a proper buying decision.
Our building consultants primarily inspect for and report on: any termite activity and termite damage, the extent of termite damage, the risks for termite infestation to occur or re-occur (e.g. dampness, poor ventilation, concealed floor slab edges); Building and pest inspectors also offer advice on the adequacy of termite management at the time of inspection or the measures you need to take to reduce termite pest risk.
If you are the seller, normally, you should pay for the termite inspection cost and termite treatment.
The existence of termites in your home may reduce its value by approximately 20% but if you treat your home at the first sign of a termite infestation you will be able to maintain the value of your property in the long term.
