Identify the areas of the property that are under timber pest attack and spot any conditions or areas that may lead to timber pest attacks
What is a Pre Purchase Inspection?
Concerned Pest Control Sydney understand how important it is to conduct a very thorough inspection of the property you’re intending to purchase.
We make sure to completely inspect all timber inside the prospective home and include all timber outside of the building.
It’s important to note the inspection should be completed before the contracted sale becomes unconditional.
We will identify whether there are any timber pests present or if there is any damage left by them. Our pre purchase inspections are completed within 7 Days.

Why do you need a Pre Purchase Inspection?
Damage left by Timber Pests can cost thousands and thousands of dollars to repair and after buying a new home you don’t want to then fork out more money to repair damage left by unwanted guests.
Therefore your wallet will thank you you in the future if you are in the position to make a fully informed decision in buying a property with damage left behind by timber pests.
What is the difference between a building and a Pest Pre Purchase Inspection?
It’s important to note there is a difference between both, a Building inspector, inspects just that the building including structural damage, and any defects to the structure. In having Concerned Pest Control Sydney handle the pre purchase pest inspection, not only will we itemise any damage caused by termites but if there are any timber pests present we will be able to quote and detail a timber pest treatment plan for you. Something a building inspector can’t do.
In Sydney when you purchase a property you’re entitled to a ‘cooling off period’ this is a period of 5 days where you are given the opportunity to cancel the contract provided you give written notice.
This is generally when most homeowners in Sydney arrange their pre purchase pest inspection. However Concerned Pest Control Sydney encourage you to arrange your pre purchase pest inspection before contracts change hands, as this is an opportune time to ensure there is ample time for us to inspect the prospective property thoroughly and also ensure there is a treatment plan or quote put in place before the cooling off period expires.
We also encourage you to attend the inspection, just so we can make sure you understand exactly what needs to happen if there are termites found or worst case scenario if there is already any damage in the timber of the property. This way we can walk you through the treatment options available to you.
