Frequently asked questions
-
We recommend that you book a building and pest inspection at least a week before you need it for your finance approval. The inspection itself will only take 60 to 90 minutes, but your inspector will need some time to get the report fully and properly done.
-
Discuss the findings with the inspector for clarification on any points you don’t understand. Ask for more details on the severity of the issues and potential remedies.
Get quotes from qualified tradespeople or contractors for repairing the identified issues. This will help you understand the financial implications. Determine how the issues affect the property’s value, safety, and your decision to proceed with the purchase or sale.
You can use the inspection report to negotiate with the seller. Ask for repairs to be made before you finalise the sale, or request a reduction in the purchase price to cover the cost of repairs.
-
Look for reviews from past clients. You also want to check if they’re licensed and if they have at least a few years of experience.
-
The most common and problematic ones include:
- Termites
- Rodents
- Bees and Wasps
- Cockroaches
- Flies and Mosquitoes
- Fleas
- Moths
- Snakes
- Birds
-
These are the common qualifications you should look out for when selecting building and pest inspectors:
- Formal education and background in construction, engineering, or architecture;
- Trade qualifications, such as being a licensed builder, carpenter, or electrician;
- Registration Victorian Building Authority (VBA);
- Certifications from the Australian Institute of Building Surveyors (AIBS), Master Builders Association, or Housing Industry Association (HIA);
- Certification as a qualified pest inspector, gained through organisations like the Australian Environmental Pest Managers Association (AEPMA);
- and several other ongoing education certifications and experience markers.
-
Yes, but it’s always better to get the whole report, as this will give you a better picture of the true state of a property.
-
It’s not necessary, but it’s better if you’re there to see the condition of the property first hand and have the inspector walk you through any findings. But if your schedule doesn’t allow it, that’s fine. Inspectors will take detailed photos and include them in their reports.
-
While there are no specific laws that require building and pest inspections before buying a home, it’s better to get one. Without it, you could end up buying a home with structural or pest-related problems that will cost you more money in the future.
Discovered issues could also cause health and safety problems. You can them early on and even use the report to negotiate a lower buying price if issues do surface.
