"Buy the home you see, not the Termites home that's hidden" 
Thinking of investing in real estate, then the importance of a Pre Purchase Building and Pest inspection in accordance with Australian Standards AS4349.3 we believe is essential for a smooth transaction and cannot be underestimated. TPC are always taking each property on as if we are purchasing the home ourselves. As a buyer, you want to be sure that you are purchasing a building with no structural issues or termites.
You should always make your property purchase subject to a satisfactory Building and Pest Inspection. Although this is not always possible when a property is being auctioned, however ensure you have the inspection completed prior the auction date !
What Can Happen If You Don't Have A Building Inspection?
Most investors do not realise the importance of getting buildings inspected before they make a purchase or sale. They are later surprised with problems and difficulties related to areas of the building that are ruined. This could be a costly mistake especially if the problem is serious since fixing them would be time consuming and expensive.
What Is A Pre-Purchase Building Inspection and Pest Inspection Report?
This is a Pre purchase Building and Pest inspection report you obtain before you purchase a property. It is a written account on the condition of the building detailing any visual significant defects and hazards.
