About our Pre-Purchase Pest Inspections

Our inspections are carried out according to the Australian Standards 4349.3. The inspection may include an assessment of the following areas: the interior of the building, the exterior of the building, the roof space, the underfloor space, the roof exterior & the site.

During the pest inspection we are looking for timber destroying aspects of the property such as fungal activity, timber rot and most importantly, termites. 

Your report will include digital photos of any problem areas which will help to relay the significance of any items mentioned within the report. You will be encouraged to meet on site during the inspection to be advised by your inspector of any issues that may require attention. If you cannot attend the inspection your inspector is happy to discuss the report with you. Once your inspection has been completed, your report can be picked up the next day from our conveniently located office or emailed, faxed or posted to you.

As part of our service we regularly email our client’s solicitors/conveyancers a copy of your report so you need only call them to discuss any issues raised that may require your consideration. NQ Building & Pest Reports operate independently and guarantee your confidentiality. We do not divulge our findings to any other parties without your request to do so.
