Pre Purchase Pest Inspections Balwyn

Many people don’t realise that timber pests, such as termites, need only a 2mm gap to enter a property and start causing damage. It’s also often overlooked that most home insurance policies won’t cover termite damage if the infestation was present before purchase.

That’s why we specialise in pre-purchase pest inspections in Balwyn. At All Checked Out, we provide comprehensive pest reports covering termites, borers, and fungal decay, ensuring you have all the information you need before buying a property in Balwyn. Our inspections comply with Australian Standard 4349.3-2-2010 for accuracy and reliability.

Within 24 hours (or sooner if required), you will receive a detailed report, complete with photos, highlighting any pest-related concerns. When conducting a pest inspection, we thoroughly assess the following areas:

Pre Purchase Building & Pest Inspections Balwyn

If you want complete peace of mind before you make the decision to buy, then we recommend both a building and pest inspection. This is especially true as building defects often go hand in hand with pest infestations.

Remember that it only takes 2mm for common timber pests (such as termites) to gain access to a property and start causing damage – damage that is unlikely to be covered by your home insurance if the property was infested by pests prior to purchase.

All Checked Out specialise in providing combined building and pest inspections in the Melbourne suburb of Balwyn. This means you are sure to get a report that highlights all the issues the property you are thinking of buying has.
