Thinking of buying a home in Newcastle or Lake Macquarie?
A building and pest inspection is one of the most important steps before signing a contract, and can save you thousands in unexpected repairs.
Here’s what to expect when you book with Elite Building & Pest Services.
Why Get a Building & Pest Inspection?
When purchasing a home, a professional inspection helps uncover hidden structural issues, termite damage, or compliance concerns. It’s also a powerful tool for negotiation if any problems are found.
What We Check (Building Inspection)
Our experienced inspector assesses the condition of key structural elements, including:
- Internal and external walls, ceilings, and floors
- Roof voids and subfloor areas (if accessible)
- Windows, doors, gutters, downpipes, decks and stairs
- Moisture damage, cracks, movement or visible faults
- Safety hazards and signs of non-compliance
What We Check (Pest Inspection)
Your pest inspection focuses on identifying:
- Active termite infestations
- Previous termite damage or treatments
- Timber decay (fungal rot)
- Signs of borer or other timber pests
- Risk factors for future termite attack
We use advanced tools such as thermal imaging and radar detection for a non-invasive and thorough inspection.
What’s Included in the Report?
You’ll receive a detailed digital report within 24 hours that includes:
- Inspection summary and condition ratings
- High-quality photos and descriptions
- Risk assessment and recommendations
- Compliance with AS 4349.1 and AS 4349.3
Our reports are clear, easy to understand, and accepted by agents, conveyancers, and banks.
