Combined Pre Purchase Building & Pest Inspection Services Melbourne

If you want complete peace of mind before buying a home in Melbourne, we recommend a combined pre-purchase building and pest inspection. This is important because building defects can sometimes lead to pest infestations.

A combined inspection is the best way to avoid unexpected repair costs after purchase. Sellers are not required to disclose structural defects, and you cannot assume that home insurance will cover these repairs. Often, it does not.

It only takes a 2mm gap for common timber pests, such as termites, to enter a home and cause serious damage. This type of damage is unlikely to be covered by your home insurance if the property had a pre-existing infestation.

Why it's Important to Have a Combined Pre Purchase Building and Pest Inspection

If you want complete peace of mind before buying a home in Melbourne, we strongly recommend a combined building and pest inspection. Building defects can often lead to pest infestations, making both inspections essential.

Having both inspections performed ensures you receive the most comprehensive condition report available. At All Checked Out, we specialise in combined building and pest inspections in Melbourne, so you can be confident that your report will highlight all issues with the property you are considering.

Additionally, because we conduct the building inspection at the same time as the pest inspection, we offer a discount compared to booking them separately. This means you save both time and money.

What is a Combined Pre Purchase Building and Pest Inspection?

A combined pre-purchase building and pest inspection in Melbourne provides a detailed, easy-to-read report. It highlights both structural faults and evidence of pests, including termites, borers, and fungal decay.
