Know the enemy
The most expensive surprises are the ones inside the walls
A house can present beautifully and still be carrying serious termite damage — fresh paint and staged furniture hide a lot. And because termite damage typically isn't covered by home insurance, whatever the inspection misses becomes the buyer's problem, at the buyer's expense.
A pre-purchase timber pest inspection puts an experienced set of eyes through the property before you commit: current termite activity, past damage, previous treatments, and the conditions that make future attack likely. Whatever we find, you negotiate and decide with the facts in hand.
Did you know?
Termite damage generally isn't covered by home insurance — which means whatever isn't found before settlement is yours to repair after it. An inspection costs a rounding error on a Sydney property price.
Red flags when you're buying
- Older timber-framed home
- Patched or repainted timber
- Garden beds against walls
- No termite records offered
- Termite history in the street
- Damp or poor drainage
- Blocked subfloor access
- Old bait stations in the yard
Spotting any of these? Call 1300 737 800 — and book the inspection before you exchange.
What your pre-purchase inspection covers
A detailed look at everything accessible — and a report written for a buyer making a decision.
Full timber pest inspection
Interior, roof void, subfloor, exterior, fences and garden timbers inspected for termite activity, past damage, borers and timber decay.
Detection technology
Thermal imaging and moisture meters help reveal what's happening inside walls — without disturbing a property you don't own yet.
Risk assessment
Beyond current activity: we assess the conditions termites love — drainage, soil levels, timber-to-ground contact — so you know the property's future risk, not just its present state.
A report you can act on
Plain-English findings with photos, delivered fast enough to matter in a Sydney buying timeline — for your own decision, your solicitor, or the negotiating table.
Fixed price. Free quote. Fast response.
Straight answers from a family business — no call centre, no pressure.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you inspect and report? I'm on an auction timeline.
Tell us your deadline when you call — we know Sydney buying moves fast, and we prioritise pre-purchase jobs accordingly. The report follows promptly after the inspection so it's in your hands when decisions are being made.
Is this the same as a building inspection?
No — a building inspection covers structural and construction issues; a timber pest inspection covers termites, borers and timber decay. Buyers typically get both, and lenders and solicitors often expect both. We handle the pest side.
What happens if you find termite damage?
Then you're negotiating with knowledge instead of hoping with ignorance. Depending on what we find, buyers use the report to negotiate price, require treatment before settlement, or walk away from a money pit. All three outcomes beat finding out after you own it.
Do you need the agent's permission to inspect?
Access is arranged through the selling agent, which is completely routine — agents deal with pre-purchase inspections every week. Give us the property address and the agent's details and we'll organise it.
