What is a Pre Purchase Pest Inspection in Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs?

It is not commonly known that you only need 2mm for common timber pests (such as termites) to gain access to a home. This is all it takes for pests to cause extensive damage. This is particularly concerning as some Eastern Suburbs in Melbourne are more prone to termites. Even worse, most people don’t know that their home insurance is limited in such circumstances. 

This is because it is unlikely they will cover the cost of repairing your home if pests were present before purchase. As a result, it is essential that a pre purchase pest inspection is undertaken before you buy.

That is why we specialise in providing pre purchase pest inspections for all suburbs of Melbourne – including the Eastern suburbs. When All Checked Out provide pre purchase pest inspections our reports are on all types of pests. Types of common pests include termites, borers and fungal decay. This way you are fully informed before you make the decision to buy your property in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
